Class Descriptions

Robotics and Computing

PeeWee Engineers

K-2

This beginner class exposes K-2 students to engineering, robotics and computing using the LEGO WeDo platform and K'Nex Building System. Students develop standards based skills by building and programming smart robots and structures in a step by step learning process. The user friendly software and hands-on activities provides students with the needed tools to put their creativity into practice. Students use real working motors and sensors, and graphic based programming to bring their robotic creations to life.

Paleontology

PeeWee Paleontologists

K-2

This hands-on prehistoric adventure uses visual materials, fossil replicas, fossils and scale models, and dino-digs to show the characteristics distinguishing dinosaurs, their world and what we know about them. K-2 students will explore dinosaur paleontology and take virtual field trips across prehistoric lands long forgotten in search of ancient fossils. Like Museum paleontologists, students make their way into their very own paleontology laboratory as they attempt to reconstruct the lives of dinosaurs based on skeletal and environmental clues. Students will learn what information can be learned from fossil evidence, and also the limitations of what fossils can tell us about these extinct animals. Utilizing Webosaurs and dino-digs, and other standards based activities; students will demonstrate their understanding of time periods, fossilization and more...
