Engineering and Design: In this course, students will learn about the vast field of engineering.  They will work as part of a team to complete 8 different engineering challenges (1 challenge a day).  The class will focus on problem solving, design, and collaboration. The activities will be hands-on and all supplies will be provided.  Teams will work through the engineering cycle each day and end with a presentation of their design. (Rock)

Ecosystem Explorers: Students will be traveling to four local parks to survey the biodiversity of these local sites. Students will take guided hikes through these ecosystems and keep track of local plants and animals to give the park a "Biodiversity Score." Students will also focus on local watersheds and look at how river systems influence biodiversity. Lastly, students will be collecting moss samples and looking through the microscope to count the relative abundance of tardigrades and rotifers. (Kanable)

Panels & Pathways: The Science of Visual Storytelling: Unleash your inner hero (or villain!) Ever wonder if super strength is biologically possible? Could someone actually fly? This course delves into the real-world science that underpins the extraordinary abilities of comic book heroes and villains. Forget just drawing superheroes – we'll explore the fascinating history of this art form, dissect the narrative structures that keep us turning pages, and then roll up our sleeves to build our own comic book creations using scientific principles from the natural and physical world, innovative problem-solving, design and construction, and the logic of quantity and relationships. This is the perfect class for curious minds who love comics and want to explore how science and storytelling collide! (Scaife)

Special Education Services (SLC): For students enrolled in our Structured Learning Center for Academics or Structured Learning Center for Behavior program. Students will participate in individual and small group academic based activities. (Gross)
