Course Descriptions

Game & App Design 1 & 2   

Mon 4PM-5PM, Wed 3PM-4PM Room B16

Jan 13  – Apr 1

 

Grades 5-8

This class is the 1st and 2nd introductory programming courses for those with no experience with JavaScript.  We focus on some basic concepts in computer science using drawing animations to learn about variables, strings, functions, logic, and looping.  This course spans the full winter quarter from Jan to Mar.

All of our classes meet 2X per week.

This implements our mini university concept.  We aim to reach beyond topical knowledge.  At the middle school level, we aim to delve more deeply to provide greater mastery, and believe that class should  meet 2X per week just as in university for proper explanation, exploration and retention.  Our classes are taught by local university(Stanford and Santa Clara) graduate students and PhD’s, and local industry professionals.

Game & App Design 3 & 4   

Mon 4PM-5PM, Wed 3PM-4PM, Room B16

Jan 13  – Apr 1
 

Grades 5-8

This class is the 3rd and 4th in a series of programming courses for returning students with 2 previous quarters of Game & App Design classes(2 quarters), and introduces more advanced computer science concepts like universal Turing machines, and P vs NP  problems and using Javascript and animations focuses on writing clean code, arrays, objects, object oriented design, using pseudo code, and introduces elements of game design through designing classic games like Asteroids.  This course is suitable for students with previous Javascript experience or previous students from Game and App Design 1, and 2.   This course spans the full winter quarter from Jan to Mar.

Sustainable Design /Biomedical Engineering 1&2 Mon 2:45M-3:45PM; Wed 1:50PM-2:50PM
 
Jan 13  – Apr 1

Grades 5-8
 
This class introduces  students  to the  invention and design process in the biomedical space.  The focus this quarter will be more on cell biology, DNA and  gene editing.  Each  module  will  culminate  in  a  presentation  about  the  project  completed  by  each  group  of  students.  Modules this quarter will be entirely new from last fall and will focus on the biomed sphere with more emphasis on cell biology and genomics picking up where we left off in fall.  The Project builds that the kids enjoyed last semester will be all new and very fun. This course spans the full winter quarter from Jan to Mar.
