Does IQ Define You? History & Science of Geniuses
What is a genius? What geniuses do you know? How do geniuses impact our world? What are their lives like? In this multi-media discussion based class, the science of some of the most world renown, and little known geniuses will be investigated. Each class will cover one outstanding individual who is considered a genius – we will discuss their work, their lives, their contributions, and how they influenced their era in history. Some of the individuals that will be explored are Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Marie Curie, Leonardo Da Vinci, Sir Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, and many...

Read MoreAdvanced Lego Robotics – Mindstorms
Students have an awesome time building and programming robots, using motors and various sensors (light, touch, sound, etc), that can negotiate challenges and perform progressively more complex maneuvers. Students engineer – design, construct and program a variety of projects such as robots that can dance, navigate obstacle courses and mazes, shoot ping pong balls, play basketball … and much more! Each class will include a STEM concept discussion, robot building, missions, challenges, games, and playtime with robots while providing level-appropriate assignments for building and...
Read MoreBeginner Lego Robotics
These classes will introduce concepts and enhance knowledge of physics, technology, and engineering through the exploration of simple machines (levers, pulleys, wheels, and axles), as well as basic mechanics, simple and complex gearing, and also concepts of motorization, locomotion, and sensing and programming. Students will be applying concepts by building models of real-world devices such as carousels, cranes, dune buggies, drawbridges, conveyor belts, turnstiles, race cars, etc., and of course, robots, as well as designs of their own creation. All equipment, supplies and materials...
Read MoreLogic & Theorems
We all try to prove things to other people in our everyday lives. The most powerful proofs are found in mathematics where the concept of a proof is fundamental. In this class, we discuss proofs from all areas of mathematics, many of which are elegant and extremely well constructed. We will first go over a basic introduction to the idea of a mathematical proof. We will briefly cover geometrical proofs, but the main focus of the class will be on using precise statements and logic to prove theorems. We will discuss many different proofs throughout the class dealing with topics from prime...
