HAVING THE ability to write well is like knowing another language. It can potentially open many doors for students, young and old. In our post-post modern age, the sad truth is that good writing is becoming an endangered species. Let's save the printed word from future fossilization while supplying our youth with the valuable asset of skilled writing and an appreciation for the great writing of others. Students may participate in one or more Book-a-saurus classes. Each week covers valuable components of writing and can stand alone. All students who participate in the classes and have an original written product to share by summer's end are invited to attend Education Soaring's spectacular, culminating "Black Tie" Book Premiere. |
| Brain Games and Mind Boggling Puzzles | WHAT do you do when the power is out or the batteries are dead? How did people play games before XBox? Plato said, “You can discover more about a person from an hour of play than in a year of co nversation.” Well, what games did Plato play? Each day we'll discover what makes games fun, what games are the most fun, and how to apply winning strategies to some of the most fun games ever. And best of all, these games can be played anywhere, anytime and without electricity. |
| Ceramics and Pottery |
WERE HANDMADE pots first made and admired for function or beauty? This class provides an opportunity for you to unmask or further yourcreative talents in a domain that is nearly as old as time. Try your hand at pouring, sanding, and glazing In Ceramics. In Pottery, start with a lump of clay, imagination, hands, and a wheel, and emerge with a uniquely personal product. Work with clay is an educational complement to technology, math and science education. After all, it's not wise to put all your pots in one kiln, right? A materials fee of $20 will be assessed to help cover the cost of supplies and firing at Georgies Ceramic and Clay. |
| Chess and Other Thinking Games |
YOU DON'T have to know how to play chess in order to enjoy your week in this class. Chess Master Michael will take you through the process of learning to play smart chess, step by step, piece by piece. Other strategy games - from the simple to the complex - will be explored and enjoyed this week, too.Non-beginners are welcome, but experienced players will want to consider the class Chess Challenges, instead. |
| Chess Challenges | "CHECKMATE!" If you can see patterns instead of individual pieces, strategies become clear in sometimes mind-boggling, but always mind-expanding games. In chess you'll focus on openings, middle game strategies, and various end games. If you don't have a lot of time, the ancient game of Pente is the logical choice for you. Regardless of your level of experience or expertise, you'll find value in this class for game and puzzle lovers. |
| Circuitry Beyond Snap Circuits | POWER is used every day in various forms and one of these forms is electricity. Electricity can be our best friend or our worst enemy. Understanding how circuits work and how and why they malfunction is key to the safe use of electricity. Snap Ciruits are available for use in this class, but the goal is to take your knowledge of circuitry to a higher level through listening, observation, diagramming, and project creation. |
| Complete Movie Production | CREATE your own spectacular movie with attention to script, foley (sound effects), visual effects, music, titles, and more. Gain an appreciation for how much work and time can go into the shortest, simplest (?) movie production. Learn how the pros use simple tricks and inexpensive tools to produce amazing effects. Talented experts who use the up-to-date technology and software for their own projects, will inspire you to continue to gain and polish movie production skills long after this class is over. Emerge with your own original movie that will showcase everything you learned during the week. |
| Computer Programming: Python | COMPUTER expert, Michael Anderson, a Computer Science graduate and current programmer, provides skilled and not-so-skilled beginners with an introduction to programming using Python. Also an expert in C and Java, Michael will cover the basics of programming, applications in the workplace, and educational goal-setting for future "techies." |
| Chemistry | IF YOU attended the 2009 Summer Program, you may have heard of acids and bases, atoms and molecules, spectral analysis and chemolumineses. You may have tried to make glue from food or tried to turn pennies to gold. This 2010 Summer Program chemistry class presents an entirely new set of chemical explorations with an entirely new group of super talented, expert science instructors. If you love chemistry, you'll like the new formula for this class! |
| Design and Build | START with a blueprint, drawing, or photograph and see your project come to life using wood, hammer, drills, wood glue, and other woodworking tools. You may decide to make a miniature house for display or a larger item for actual use. Use our ideas or come up with your own. A materials fee of $20 will be assessed to help cover the cost of wood and other supplies. |
| Destruction Reconstruction | IF YOU LIKE to create new machines by taking old ones apart and reconstructing them differently to serve new purposes, then this class is for you. Who knows? You might stumble onto something that could change the way people live. While creating new machines, you'll look back thousands of years to the construction of magnificent structures like the Great Pyramids, and observe how lives were changed by the use of simple machines. You'll have a deeper understanding of how the world “works.” |
| Digital Movie Making | PLAN, record, digitize, edit, and present. These are just a few of the key components that go into the making and production of a great digital movie. Film an original movie with attention to plot, setting, and props. Then use state-of-the-art digital movie-making technology to turn your movie into an original DVD! |
| Entrepreneurship and Investing | BECOME a business owner on your first day of class and TAKE HOME CASH PROFITS from the Education Soaring Student Store on the last day of class! Learn about earning, saving and investing; stocks and bonds; the importance of planning; and how to write and implement an actual business plan. Math education at its best!Note: Participants need to bring $10 on the first day of class to buy stock in their company. This investment, which usually increases by a few dollars, is returned on Friday along with profits earned during the week. Total profits vary depending on group sales, but usually range from $5 to $10 per student. |
| Geography and Letterboxes | HOME, neighborhood, city, state, country, continent, planet, universe. Where are we, anyway? Explore the concepts of being in more than one place at the same time, the perspectives of looking down from an airplane or up through a telescope, the notion that "big" is actually "miniscule" when compared to things gigantic. Movement, exploration, and a variety of engaging activities such as using GPS devices to locate and hide letterboxes for other students to find on Education Soaring property will give you a greater understanding of where you fit into your world and how important you are. |
| Global Problem Solving, Face to Face and Place to Place | PROBLEMS are or are not problems depending upon perspective. Whether a problem is as local as a neighbor's tree spilling its needles onto another neighbor's driveway or as global as a massive oil spill, the solution requires understanding, collaboration, usually compromise, and effective communication among groups of people as small as two or as large as representatives from multiple nations. If the psychology and legalities of how people define, approach, and solve problems intrigue you, you'll have no problem enjoying and learning from this class for potential world problem solvers. A great class for pre-debaters! |
| Green Power | THERE ARE'NT many topics more newsworthy than our need for and use of power. Learn about clean energy solutions while conducting investigations using solar, wind, and water power. While engaged in activities and discussions about conservation, take an objective up-close and personal look at both the history and future of energy use in your community and around the world. |
| How Things DON'T Work | START with a pile of otherwise useful machines like clocks, cameras and sewing machines that are broken. Guided by skilled mechanics, learn how to ask the right questions and find the right clues to diagnose the problems and make the right repairs. Who knows? If you can get it working again, you might even be compensated by the machine's owner! This fun, fascinating, hands-on class will seem like anything but work! |
| How Things Work | HOW DO airplanes take off? Is a slide a machine? Why do people put chains on their cars when it snows? Construct and use levers, pulleys, wedges, screws, and inclined planes. Observe how simple machines combine to make complex machines. Following safety guidelines, dismantle objects like clocks and CD players at the "Take Apart Center" to see what's inside. A study of magnetism, gravity, water power, and more combine to make this fun, hands-on class anything but "work." |
| Icky, Goopy, Mucky Matter | STICKY dough and ice cubes... thermometers and test tubes. Satisfy your appetite and thirst for knowledge in this class for "cool" chemists. Have fun learning about mixtures, compounds, and elements. Learn how hot and cold temperatures affect objects you see around you everyday. Completely non-toxic and non-boring! |
| Invention Convention |
YOU would be amazed at how many useful items that we take for granted were actually invented by mistake or unexpectedly. For example, you may know how the ice cream cone was invented, but do you know the history of velcro's creation? (Clue: Have you ever taken a walk in a field of sticky plants?) And how do inventions actually become patented and available for us to buy and use. Toss your perfectionistic tendencies aside and spend the week experimenting, creating, discovering unique solutions to common problems. Friday includes an unveiling of original new products, almost market-ready. |
| Japanese Cooking and Calligraphy | JOIN US on a journey to Japan through cooking and caligraphy. The class begins with a vibrant description of Japan’s geography and history, and includes a discussion of modern Japanese phenomena like Manga and Pokemon. Writing exercises will include Hiragana, the Japanese alphabet, and will culminate in writing characters using calligraphy. Japanese cuisine featuring traditional Japanese dishes such as vegetable tempura will be prepared and served daily.A materials fee of $20 will be assessed to help cover the cost of foods and supplies. |

HMMM. Now where did your dinner come from? Food, and fun are combined in this class for worldly chefs who love to study chemistry in the kitchen. Learn about corporate, organic, and home food sources. Examine food labels and analyze the nature of ingredients listed on the box. Make "cool" and "hot" drinks, salads, main dishes, and snacks. Learn the science of mixing ingredients and basic kitchen mathematics using a variety of cookbooks. Come and take the taste test!A materials fee of $20 will be assessed to help cover the cost of foods and supplies. |
| Kitchen Chemistry | LEARN to use all kinds of simple kitchen machines like egg beaters, melon ballers, closed nut choppers and more tools in a special kind of science lab called a "kitchen." Then try your hand at experimenting with different kinds of edible matter. Melt and freeze foods, mix oil and water, make raisins sink and float, take some eggs for a spin. Using the scientific method, make predictions about how yummy or yucky your edible materials will taste at the end of the day or week and record the results with a smile or a frown. |
| Lego Robotics | ROBOTS can be found all over the earth and on other planets too. These devices may seem smart, but are they really? Discover what it takes to be a robot and find out what amazing things they can do as well as some of their surprising limitations. Using Lego© robotic kits, apply programming and design engineering skills to create robots that explore environments where humans dare not go! |
| Math Art |
PYRAMIDS, symmetry, Escher, labyrinths, and even music. Let your understanding of art concepts deepen your appreciation of the beauty of mathematics, or let your mathematical talent lead you into a richer world of art. Your awareness of the relationship between math and art throughout history will result in a greater understanding of both domains. At the end of the week, take home your own mathematical art pieces for display. |
| Math Mania and Miller's Monster! | GEOMETRY is the mathematics of properties, measurement, and the relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces and solids in space. Use super fun, hands-on materials such as Zome, polydrons, tangrams, pentominoes, and geoboards to explore polygons, polyhedra, symmetry, congruence, angles, perimeter, area, circumference, and more. Create models and drawings of polyhedra from ordinary cube to Miller's Monster! You don't have to be a genius at geometry to "get it." |
| Math on the Move | ESSENTIAL to math understanding is an ability to compare two objects or events. In problem solving, if you can determine what parts of the question and answer are more than, less than or equal to other parts, you're 99% of the way to the correct answer. In other words, if you can correctly determine the direction of movement toward the answer - up down, or no movement at all - you can be confident you're on the right road. Math on the Move combines action with thinking, real life situations with problem solving. Measure and calculate your way through the week and as a bonus, you'll end up with a written record of your ability to move your body as well as your mind. |
| Math Outside the Box | DO YOU like unusual number facts? Games of chance? Measurement? Complex pattern creation? This math class has it all. Delve into the some of the more unusual facts of mathematics as you investigate probability, use computation and measurement skills, form and test hypotheses and more. Engage in many kinds of challenging group and individual games and math problem solving activities. For math lovers who enjoy variety. |
| Photography FUN-damentals: Darkroom to Digital | HAVE YOU EVER wondered how a camera functions? In this exploration into photography you will construct a pinhole camera from basic materials and produce a negative image on light sensitive paper. Digital photography will be addressed with instruction on basic use, symbols, terminology, apertures and shutter speeds. Because the world is a visual place and the journey to discover the meaning behind a photograph is important not only to the viewer but to the photographer as well, the subject of the photograph will be discussed aesthetically and formally. Uploading photographs, file naming, and management will also be taught so bring a flash drive! |
| Photography Gone Awry: Photoshop | TURN EVERY PHOTOGRAPH into a work of art or a conversation starter. Place yourself in locations you've never been before like Mars or Presidential meetings at the White House. In fact, imagine showing up in family photos decades before you were born! Take home your favorite, original photoshopped photo, framed and ready for display. |
| Powered Machines: Battery, Solar, Wind, and More | WHAT CAN you do with a battery or sunlight? In this class you'll use different kinds of batteries and materials to construct all kinds of just-for-fun contraptions such as cars, robots, clocks, and lights. You might even learn how to power a light or clock with a battery constructed from a potato or a grapefruit. Mandatory safety lessons included daily. |
| Realistic Art | THROUGH VISUAL ART, learn how to reproduce what you see. Advanced artists will be challenged to infuse original realistic drawings with personal emotion and/or original detail. Beginning artists will be encouraged to familiarize themselves with the process of imitating and interpreting visual stimulus. Mediums used include paint, pencil, charcoal, and pastels. Techniques presented include perspective drawing, shadowing (line, light, depth), drawing models (inanimate still life, animate peers, family), and mixing colors. In order to provide young artists with a point of reference to their preferred 'realistic' style, the final lesson will include principles of abstract, impressionistic and expressionistic art, and a corresponding exercise. |
| Renaissance Art | BRUSH STROKES of the masters...color, tone, shading. Identify the grand masterpieces of the Renaissance period.
