S T E M / FA B L A B AT C O U N T R Y D AY La Jolla Country Day School is happy to offer three STEM courses this summerl. Materials and field trips are included in the tuition fees. Sessions will be co-taught by FabLab San Diego and La Jolla Country Day School instructors, who are experts in each of the fields.

ELECTRONICS TRACK: ELECTRONICS AND PROGRAMMING MICROCONTROLLERS (GRADES 5-8) The Electronics track offers an introductory overview for new students and a refresher course for returning students, leading into a more advanced use of electronic components and microcontrollers to make personalized robotic creations. This track is designed for students who are beginners as well as those who have some previous experience with electronics, computer programming or robotics. The program is hands on, allowing each student to create a personalized project that meets the level of challenge appropriate for each individual.

The same course is offered in the morning or afternoon. If your child is going to attend all day, choose a second course for the afternoon such as Computing Track or Industrial Design Track.

Students will begin by reviewing the theories and concepts of electricity and electronics, as well as the fundamentals of microprocessors, their place in history and society, and the syntax and structure required to program them. Once we have established an understanding of these concepts, participants will advance to developing their own unique projects using the Arduino microcontroller (a small programmable computer on an integrated circuit). Students will develop personalized projects by programming the Arduino to perform tasks related to sensing and actuating, including controlling motors, illuminating LEDs, and turning LEDs on and off in a particular order.

The end result will be student-designed projects that light up and blink, move around, or perform other functions that each student can customize.

Session AM Dates: July 13 - 31 Time: 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Room: TBD Cost: $670 - materials and field trips are included in the tuition fees Session PM Dates: July 13 - 31 Time: 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

COMPUTING TRACK: CREATING YOUR OWN VIDEO GAMES (GRADES 5-8) We know that middle school students love playing video games, but they can also learn to make their own! We will introduce students to computer science in a way that connects to the things that they already like and are familiar with.

We will learn about computer programming by making games based on Angry Birds, Mario, Minecraft, or other favorites. Additionally, students will be introduced to the tools they need to program custom modifications and servers in Minecraft. Create and design your own ‘mods’ and implement them into the real program. Also develop your design and abstract reasoning skills by crafting unique changes to the program world as you see fit.

For new students, we begin with Scratch in order to introduce them to the syntax and concepts behind code.

Scratch grew out of the MIT Media Lab, and offers students of all ages a visual way to understand some of the more complicated concepts behind computer programming.

As students become ready to advance, we will teach them to write code on their own using Java and the Javabased language Processing. Processing allows students a way to see a visual playback of the code that they are writing, so that the sometimes challenging task of typing code offers immediate feedback.

This class is open to students of varying skill levels. Students will be given beginner to more advanced activities, based on their experience level.

Session AM Dates: July 13 - 31 Time: 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN TRACK: FORMS, MODELING AND 3D PRINTING (GRADES 5-8)

In the Industrial Design track, we will learn about the processes involved in designing and creating physical products, allowing students to 3D model and fabricate their own products with professional tools.

The same course is offered in the morning or afternoon. If your child is going to attend all day, choose a second course for the afternoon such as Electronics Track or Computing Track.

In this class, students will explore product development, design techniques, and 3-dimensional modeling methods. Through hands-on projects, students will advance to learning how to create forms in a 3D modeling environment and will use a 3D printer to make final physical replicas of their designs. While exploring methods of visual communication, students will develop an applied understanding of industry-standard 3D modeling software, and design preparation for CNC machines. This class will introduce students to cutting edge technologies, while exploring the past, current and future reality of industrial design, personal manufacturing and 3D printing.

This project-based program will walk the students through a learning experience that concludes in the manufacturing of a useful object of the students’ own design.
