Cracking the Engineering (STEM) Code in Spanish: Introducción a Ingeniería para Niños

Because this class will be taught entirely in Spanish, a high level of Spanish proficiency is required. (We can reiterate the explanation of the concepts in English if needed)

Each session is full of projects based on Passion, Collaboration with Peers, and a Playful Spirit. It is full of hands-on Memorable, Meaningful, and Motivating activities, specially designed for girls and boys, 9 to 11 years old.

This class is a discovery class where the only requirement is a passion for learning and creating.

In this online live course, each student will:

- Participate in a class with other children his/her age group (9 - 11), discovering how engineering is a part of their everyday life. 
- Enjoy four hours of personalized project-based instruction and interest-based projects. 
- Learn to design, build, create models that will require an engineer's eye using everyday household materials. 
- Collaborate with small groups (6 campers maximum per session) with one adult certified live instructor.
