Use STEM engineering design skills to creatively solve weekly challenges using “junk”. This class will be similar in some ways to the PBS “Design Squad” series. We will learn about and use the Engineering Design Process as we work together to solve missions. We will partner with FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) team #12913 DA EXBots for at least one challenge, and discover how problem solving in a team environment is one of the most desired and marketable skills in today’s tech focused job market.

Weekly activities will require child to have library access, a digital library, or children can choose from our personal library on certain topics. Weekly activities include reading games focusing on phonemic awareness, voting on next week’s topic, your child presenting 3 things they learned about their homework topic to the class, reading and discussing a bible verse your child will copy for homework, and a read aloud. Activities will require parents to provide reading materials and some project materials. Children will be reading and or learning in a variety of formats to include hands on activities such as creating a lego display or simple play dough sculpture about something they learned. Children are expected to complete some projects at home to return the following week and present to class three things they learned. I am a Barton tutor with an Orton Gillingham Approach; however this class is not designed specifically on the Barton system but around phonemic awareness and building a love for literacy. Older kids are welcome to participate, especially if they do struggle with reading, as we will be working on phonics.
