No drop-ins until January 4. 2025. Happy holidays!
This is a great introduction to Einstein’s Workshop and Maker culture. There will be a new topic every eight week quarter.Q1 – Jr. Mad ScientistsDive into science through hands-on experimentation. Learn about the scientific method! Explore a wide range of science topics. Experiment with making clouds in a bottle, explore chemical reactions with vinegar
and baking soda, create a bio-battery with lemons, and much more!
Q2 – Treasure Hunters
Are you ready for an adventure? Don’t forget your map! Maps and diagrams help us figure out our location in relation to a place, and help us discover all sorts of treasures along the way. We’ll make pirate’s treasure maps, blueprints, and physical maps! We’ll explore street maps, diagrams, globes, solar system maps, and so much more.
Q3 – Coding for Kids
In this introduction to the world of programming, students learn first through hands on games, then by guiding Botley, a programmable robot, through a series of mazes. Once they’ve mastered the basics, students tackle more complex programming in Scratch Jr, a free tablet based programming environment. Students love creating stories and games with Scratch Jr., which makes basic coding logic fun and easy to learn! (Students who took Coding for Kids last school year or during Summer 2024 will see new content.)
Q4 – Young Inventors Squad
Become an engineer and make working models that solve real problems! This is your chance to design and build your own cool inventions using everyday objects and recycled materials! (Students who took Young Inventors Squad last school year or during Summer 2024 will see new content.)
Note for students who took this concentration last year:
This concentration runs on a two year cycle with different versions from one year to the next. Students that join this concentration two years in a row will see different material in their second year.
We believe that learning is at its best when kids are excited, having fun, and exploring with other kids. Our classes encourage students to teach each other and learn together. Our lessons help students explore, grow, and gain confidence in STEAM topics. Our students gain the ability to navigate and succeed in our increasingly tech-driven society.
Our curriculum consists of unique activities designed to teach, challenge and allow for creative exploration.
Our classes span multiple STEAM categories, encouraging students to combine learning and techniques from many disciplines in ways they don’t usually encounter in school.
