Archaeology: Digging
the Past
Ever wonder what went on in the past? Join us and
learn the secrets that artifacts can tell you, if you know how to ask the right
questions! We’ll learn how archaeological sites get buried and how to make
sense of the layers they have. We’ll also identify artifacts and learn how they
were used. Some of the artifacts might need repair, so we’ll help put them back
together, and make a museum-style display. In the end, you’ll be able to figure
out what was going on, way, way, way back before your grandparents were born! Taught by Dr. Heidi Lennstrom, Westside
School’s university-trained archaeologist, who’s done fieldwork from Oregon to
Peru.

Creative
Coding 4 Kids – Core Class
Let’s get
programming! This class teaches students
to code by helping them make their own custom video games! Our project-based,
multi-level classes are amazingly fun yet very effective in teaching creative
problem solving AND emotional resilience. Students have fun bringing their
ideas to life, as they iterate through the emotional cycle of Coding
(idea->excitement->effort->frustration->more effort->triumph!)
With our support and positive encouragement. Repeating this cycle not only
builds great coders, but more importantly, develops emotional persistence that
will help students enjoy taking on new challenges in all aspects of their
lives.
Students new to Scratch software will learn
fundamental elements of coding, while those with previous experience will enjoy
a unique mix of coding challenges, techniques, and hacks. Our classes are
designed to be repeated an infinite number of times. As students complete a
class, they go up one level, like in video games, and increase their coding
skills, speed and proficiency.

Gadgets & Gizmos:
Lego Engineering
This Lego Engineering unit is all about the
fun of doing something with what you’ve built -- kids will love playing with
their creations! We sneak in lots of learning, too – understanding probability
in the “3-in-a-row” game model, learning how gears work by building a paper crinkler, and learning
about friction and symmetry with the spinning top lesson. We'll
discuss how machines can be used to create art and build a working
spin art machine with Lego Bricks, figuring out why the paint flies away from
the center of the plate. Don’t miss out!
