An introductory view of the history and principles of flight. Activities include flight simulator
software and the construction of Delta Dart Airplane and Alpha Rocket. There will be a flight day scheduled at the end of each 6 weeks to launch rockets.

Audio Communications

An introduction to audio mixing and radio broadcasting. Activities include recording a 15-20
minute mock radio broadcast with music, news, weather a, and commercials.

Aviation

An introduction to the different skills that are necessary to learn the fundamentals of flying a plane. The unique control console and pedal assembly of the flight trainer provide a "real feel" that allows the student to practice what he/she learns in simulated flight.

 Computer Aided Drafting

Students learn the fundamentals of CAD and design and print a variety of drawings.

Computer Animation

Students will demonstrate an understanding of basic animation techniques. Activities include
planning and creating an animation presentation.

                                                                          3D Computer Animation

Students create animated actors and a short amimation sequence based on a detailed design brief.  They learn to create and edit actors' paths and work with time measurements to choreograph multiple characters.

 Desktop Publishing

Utilizes a computer and various publishing software packages to develop a newsletter and an
original publication integrating text and graphics.

                                                                          Digital Photography

Students learn the basic principles of photographic composition, technique, and design.  They capture and download images using a digital camera and then use computer software to edit, manipulate, enhance, and print their own original photographs.

Electricity/Electronics

A series of experiments to show emission, behavior, movement, and effects of electrons and how those elements are controlled.

Electronic Printing

Students will utilize Print Shop Pro Publisher Deluxe Version 11to create various
communications. They will learn to create greeting cards, business cards, calendars, certificates, postcards, letterheads, envelopes, web pages and more.

Engineering

After learning the basics of bridge design and construction, students will design and build a model bridge. They will then test the strength of their bridge using a structural and material tester.

Fiber Optics

A variety of experiments to introduce students to fundamentals of fiber optics, which involves
processing data signals with light waves and transmitting them.

Lasers

A series of experiments that demonstrate laser fundamentals. Laser stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

Robotics

A study of the history, fundamentals, and uses for industrial robots. Activities include
programming of a Robotic Arm. If time allows, students will design and construct a Capsela
model(s).

Video Communications

An introduction to video broadcasting. Students will use a video camera to tape a scripted production in which they will act as "on the scene" location reporters for a newscast. They will also write a script for a newscast or a talk show and, with the help of the students at the Video Production module, will create a mock TV broadcast.

Video Production

Students will learn about pre-production, production, and post-production of videos. They will first produce a scripted newscast in order to learn how to operate the a/v mixer board and other equipment. Then they will combine with the students at the Video Communication module to produce a mock TV broadcast.
