This year I have studied:

  • Name of Course – Robotics

    Learning Facilitator: Max

    Course Description:

    An introductory course to lego robotics. Students work in teams of two to complete various robotics challenges. They begin the course assembling a lego robot. They then develop techniques to use the gyro sensor, ultrasonic sensor, light sensor and touch sensor. The students gain familiarity with basic programing concepts such as loop and if then statements.  Students will program a robot to follow a line, make shapes and rescue a man and a monkey by slaying a dragon.

    Days of the Week: Thurs. and Friday

    Name of Course – Psychology

    Learning Facilitator: Caroline

    Course Description: This course will act as a hands-on, experiment and discussion based introduction to basic psychology. We will explore various topics that are engaging and fun, using videos, research-based text and experimentation. What role does psychology play in advertising and branding? How do people and/or animals act when they have been rewarded or punished? How is this used in our own school and community to influence behavior? Students will evaluate the role of psychology in their own patterns of behavior and learn how to be more critical consumers of material goods and information. In essence, this course aims to expose students to new and exciting facts, people and historically relevant data, while getting them excited about the scope of psychology in their own lives.
