Disclaimer: I do accept students that are below the age range listed, but this class is geared towards that specific age range. It also follows a lecture based model. Please keep this in mind when enrolling your student as some students do not tend to like this model or may not understand the material if they are below the age range. 
The Manhattan Project was the code name for the American-led effort to develop a functional atomic weapon during World War II. The controversial creation and eventual use of the atomic bomb engaged some of the world’s leading scientific minds, as well as the U.S. military—and most of the work was done in Los Alamos, New Mexico, not the borough of New York City for which it was originally named. The Manhattan Project was started in response to fears that German scientists had been working on a weapon using nuclear technology since the 1930s—and that Adolf Hitler was prepared to use it. We will discover the planning, preparing and implementation of the Manhattan Project. The material will be taught through PowerPoint presentations, shorts videos, collaborative conversations and closed readings. I love for my students to learn not only from myself but through the help of their fellow classmates. This is my goal to have collaborative conversations that make each student question, answer and gauge their own level of knowledge about the topic. This course will be taught from the United States point of view, but shown respect and proper research towards outside countries.
