Elmer and Quentavius- Young Middle School Isaiah and Justin-Maynard Jackson High
 
Program Overview
Elementary, Middle, and High school students will be introduced to a pre-college STEM initiative that connects local University educators, mentors, and professionals to a phase driven science, technology and engineering program.

Aerospace/Aviation
Our Aerospace and Aviation after school program will give elementary, middle and high school students the opportunity to learn hands on skills in Aviation and Flight technology. Students are exposed to the challenges of human spaceflight through the usage of a real live Space Shuttle Launch Control Center Simulator, and a Mission Control Center Environment. Students take part in the build out of the Shuttle Simulator Environment and are exposed to the same Orbital Simulations used in NASA astronaut training, a NASA Satellite Tool Kit (STK) Software is incorporated into the courses of the after school program as well, NASA’s STK software is designed to provide satellite and shuttle determination, mission design and orbit analysis support for the entire life cycle of the satellite, space shuttle and space station tracking systems. We are pleased to be one of the only science and technology centers that utilize the same NASA software that astronauts use for training simulations. Students are engaged in simulations that involve working as a teams and solving real-world astronaut problems. Utilizing our DreamFlyer flight simulator, students receive training in flight planning, learn how to read flight charts, take off and landing procedures and more. Here students learn to operate a space shuttle and airplane before they learn how to drive a car.

Robotics
WizKidz Science and Technology Centers offers a curriculum based robotics program that is designed to give students a better understanding to the use of numerous mathematical tools and techniques which are available for decision-making purposes in engineering. The program will offer students a unit of study that demonstrates the application of math, engineering, science, and technology. Our robotics courses will give Elementary, Middle and High school students the opportunity to learn hands on skills in engineering through various robotics activities facilitated by Georgia Institute of Technology and other local university students, educators and professionals.
Our robotics program introduces students to engineering, first hand and teaches fundamental skills for building and programming robots using various robotic building platforms from LEGO Mindstorms NXT and RCX Robotics kits, Parallax robotic kits, K'nex, Lynxmotion and Vernier Technologies and more.The students are exposed to the dynamics of robotic functionality, building, design, and programming by utilizing advanced robotic activities that are delivered in a curriculum based teaching structure.
WizKidz Science and Technology Centers are also working on developing the capabilities of blind and visually impaired students to design, build and program robots. Some of our advanced students have participated in the design and build out of various robots from mock explosive seeking robots for law enforcement to designing and building a medical image processing robot capable of performing a mock Needle Biopsy using a Image-Guided Therapy (IGT) procedure. A project currently being used at the Harvard School of Medicine. Our robotic activities reinforce education in ratios; friction; diameter, radius and circumference; light and the electromagnetic spectrum, measurement of distance, time, angles, speed, basic electricity, circuits and more. Programming languages and platforms to include: NXC(not exactly C), BASIC Stamp, Microsoft Robotics Studios, NXJ, RobotC, 3-D CAD, C+, LEGO Digital Design, and more.
 
Forensic Science
Forensic science is broadly defined as the application of science to criminal investigations or problem solving. Students are exposed to crime scene investigation through various hands-on activities that incorporate the same techniques as a real forensic scientist, students learn to calculate bullet trajectory and determine the location of the shooter in a mock crime scene to determining the angle of impact and point of origin of a simulated blood spatter. Students incorporate tools for learning forensic osteology, using mock human bones, they they identify the characteristics of the bones to determine if a skeleton is male or female. Students uncover fingerprints with dusting and cyanoacrylate fuming, and discover the colors of ink through chromatography and much more!
Paleontology
Paleontology is the study of prehistoric life forms on Earth through the examination of plant and animal fossils. This includes the study of body fossils, tracks (ichnites), burrows, cast-off parts, fossilized faeces (coprolites), palynomorphs and chemical residues. Students will learn and participate in actual dino-digs and participate in the collection of dinosaur fossils. Students are introduced to the fundamentals of prospecting for new specimens, excavating, plaster jacketing, fossil removal, quarry mapping, lab preparation techniques, fossil identification and the study the Palaeozaic and the Mesozoic eras.
