Middle School Satellite
Students enrolled in middle school programs receive an introduction to STEM related careers through hands-on, inquiry-based learning.
Green Architecture
Students learn how to apply "green" choices to the fields of architecture and construction by exploring dimensioning, measuring, and architectural sustainability as they design affordable housing units using Autodesk's 3D architectural design software.
Design & Modeling
While working in teams, students apply the design process to solve problems and understand the influence of creativity and innovation in their lives.
Medical Detectives
Students study DNA evidence to solve medical mysteries through hands-on projects and labs and learn how the systems of the human body work together to maintain health.
Automation & Robotics
While working in teams, students use the VEX Robotics® platform to design, build, and program real-world objects and learn about mechanical systems, energy transfer, machine automation, and computer control systems.
