Skylines: Game-based 3D City DesignThis is a fascinating class that, with computer games, will introduce the thrill and hardships of creating and maintaining a real city. No more messing with paper, scissors and glues. Through simulation, Students will engage in urban planning by controlling your own roads, public services, transportation and more. You're only limited by your imagination, so take control and reach for the sky!
Creative Writing of Science Fiction and Fantasy WritingAuthor Ray Bradbury once wrote, “In science fiction, we dream.” Where a history book
can tell us what happened in the past, our future remains a shadowy mystery. It is in this
shadow that science fiction has grown and evolved. It was and is our way to imagine a
life and time beyond where we are now. Over the years sci-fi has adapted to our ever
changing world, growing and adapting. Whether it includes robots, space exploration,
aliens, or traveling through time, science fiction remains a gateway for our imagination.
This course is for students that have a desire to study and create their own brand of
science fiction.
Graphic Design: Crafting Visual StatementsStudents develop and improve their graphic design skills while mastering professional design tools. Students develop the skills necessary to research and compose digital image projects. They are encouraged to be creative, but are also taught to think of each project as a concise statement of artistic, documentary, and/or journalistic intent.
Computational Thinking without Coding (III)We will teach Computer Science through games and puzzles with cards, string, crayons and lots of running around. These activities will introduce students to Computational Thinking through concepts such as binary numbers, algorithms and data compression. Importantly, no coding is needed.
USACO Workshop: Introduction to Bronze**This is an introductory one-week class for students who plan to participate in USACO contests. All new participants in USACO contests start out in the bronze division, and those who score particularly well in their current division will be promoted to the next division for future contests. The workshops will build on top of our regular computer classes and are problem solving-based. This class is designed to get students STARTED to work at Bronze level for the competition. The curriculum is aligned with USA Computing Olympiad (USACO). Eligibility Requirements (meet one of the following requirements): - Took Java/C++ Programming Level A & B - Took AP Computer Science course

Java Programming A**This course provides an introduction to the Java programming language with a focus on procedural programming and brief instruction to object-oriented concepts. Students will learn: Data types, Variables, Conditions, Loops, Arrays, String processing.
3D Modeling & 3D PrintingExplore the interesting world of 3D Modeling. In the class, you'll learn the basics of perspective scale drawings and how to use 3D software to design. You will also learn how this technology is revolutionizing social progress from rapid innovation in business to formerly unprecedented breakthroughs. This class will engage students in conceptual and practical spatial problem solving and precise geometric formulation. Students will learn the process and settings of 3D printing. Models created in this class can be printed on the 3D printer at the local libraries.
Method of Reasoning: Induction and DeductionReasoning, logic, and critical-thinking skills are the studies of valid argumentation. They serve as the building blocks of intellectual inquiry. This camp focuses on developing these skills through hands-on problem-solving activities. Students will learn how to analyze argumentative structure. They will learn to use inductive and deductive reasoning to solve problems in mathematics and their daily life.
