STEM Courses

Students design, build, and program robots using the VEX Robotics platform.

Prerequisites: No prerequisites. Required course for STEM students.

This course uses a multi-disciplinary approach to introduce students to the underlying principles of computation. Students learn the creative aspects of programming, abstractions, algorithms, large data sets, the Internet, cybersecurity concerns, and computing impacts. This course also gives students the opportunity to use current technologies to create computational artifacts for both self-expression and problem-solving.

Prerequisites: Students must possess a very strong math background and teacher recommendation. Preference given to students who have taken advanced math courses. 

This course provides a foundation for students interested in electrical engineering, electronics, or circuit design. Students are exposed to circuit design tools used in the industry, including logic gates, integrated circuits, and programmable logic devices.

Prerequisites: Open to all STEM sophomores

Students learn about the engineering design process, applying math, science and engineering standards to hands-on-projects. They work both individually and in teams to design solutions to a variety of problems using 3-D modeling software and document all their work in an engineering notebook.
