Complimentary/Option Classes
CTF Program of studies
Robotics
Students will use the LEGO Mindstorms NXT and EV3 kits to explore designing and programming principles. Students will learn design foundations, problem solving skills, and overcome challenges and tasks as a team. Using the robots students will develop programming skills and explore the use of a variety of sensors. Students are also able to work at their own pace.
Animation
Emphasis will be on the creation of animation stressing teamwork, storyboarding, creating character, stage design and sound design. Challenges and mini projects will further student’s exploration of animation approaches and techniques. Digital cameras, iPads, Wacom tablets, and computer editing are critical skills that make the foundation for this class. Students will learn, applications in Adobe programs, Stykz, iMovie and Movie Maker as well as exploring a variety of Apps.
CAD (Computer Aided Design)
Students will be be identifying, exploring and demonstrating the basic tools of the software program Sketchup. The students will be given various challenges and tasks to improve their skills. The students will also be involved in brief exploration of the process from idea to sketch to prototype to construction involving the use of our 3D-printer.
