South Washington County Schools Community Education

This course is tailored to students interested Radio-Controlled (RC) cars and trucks and focuses on the fundamentals of building, fixing, driving and racing RC vehicles! Each student is provided an electric 1/10 scale RC Truck for use during each session. Through the direction of our personal instructor, our goal is for students to learn fundamental mechanical skills and demonstrate acute eye-hand coordination by driving on our indoor RC racetrack. Skills learned benefit REAL LIFE applications in automotive, engineering and electronics.

Register for all three courses and save! We are excited to present the internationally acclaimed STEM learning program taught in 40+ countries by e2 Young Engineers, a Europe based company. This is a problem based, spiral learning program where you child learns about new STEM concepts in every class and applies that concept by building motorized models using patented Lego blocks. This approach makes learning fun and easy for the child to retain what they have learned. Please visit our website for additional details: https://easttwincities.e2youngengineers.com/ In the January session, your child will learn about kinetic/potential energy, centrifugal/centripetal force and symmetry/asymmetry structures. During the class, they will work independently to build motorized models of a cable car, ferris wheel, carousel, drum machine and others. In the February session, your child will learn about gears, gravity, pulleys and renewable energy. During the class, they will work independently building motorized models of a conveyor belt, windmill, crane, power plant and more. In the March session, your child will learn about Newton's laws, momentum, energy conservation and inertia. During the class, they will work independently building motorized models of a motorcycle, towing vehicle, street sweeper, farming plough and more.

New Class! This course will give you hands-on experience developing your own game using Scratch 3, a visual coding platform. Students will learn how to think like a programmer, and learn coding concepts while creating a two-dimensional game. The first part of the class will be instructor led; with the time remaining students will have the opportunity customize their games.

Students will be taught foundational building and introduced to programming concepts with learning about the new Sensors, Motors, and Special Technics components. Working in small teams, students will build and program smart robots, including navigation and manipulation, using the different Sensors and Motors

With the LEGO WeDo Robotics System, students will build and learn to code their robotic creations. Designed by the experts at M.I.T., this unique system teaches children about simple machines, engineering, programming and so much more. Students working in teams will program and modify robotic models using Lego’s intuitive drag-and-drop interface. After buildings models, students will be walked through coding exercises, and then challenge to improve and modify the drag and drop WeDo code

Become the architect of three mini-game battle arenas! Build your own spleef arena, capture the flag base, and king of the hill stadium, then challenge your friends! Battle it out in spleef, plan your base in capture the flag, and have a snowball fight in king of the hill! Students will get a copy of the world map to take home and expand on. We will be using the PC/Java Edition of Minecraft.
