The Mount Vernon School

Calling all Tech Kids! Are you interested in cool innovations that the 21st Century has to offer? In this program, we will Build, Code, and Explore. Students will utilize fun and exciting technology resources such as programmable LEGO® Models, Modern Robots, Drones, 3D Pens, and much more. They will not only gain an essential foundation for 21st Century Technology, but also train their skills in Problem Solving, Critical Thinking, Teamwork, and Executive Functioning. New Activities provided each week throughout the school year.

Ever wanted to design, build and program your own robots? Well, here’s your chance! In this Specialized Program for Upper Elementary, students will gain invaluable experiences to boost their understanding of Robotics and software design and help them develop their ability to think abstractly, logically and analytically. Throughout the program, students will take on various projects to become familiar with a wide range of robotics topics such as: Scratch Programming, Mechanical & Electrical Engineering, Sensors, Coding, Design Principles and More...

Let's put on your aprons because it’s time to blend food and science together! In this program for early learners we will learn STEM fundaments through scientific experiments with food! We will stimulate our taste buds, engage our curiosity, utilize scientific tools, engage our creativity and expand our knowledge. Participants will learn valuable skills such as: Following instructions, utilizing basic tools, colors and shapes, expressing sensory findings, creativity and experimentation.

Note: In some lessons, students will be exposed to, prepare, consume, or take home a variety of food items. We will inform you in advance of food items we will utilize each week. However we are rarely able to make substitutions due to the chemistry focused nature of the lessons. If your student, or household has an allergy or dietary restriction, please let us know in advance.

3D Printing is quickly becoming a mainstream technology with a potential to shape the future. During this Specialized Program for Upper Elementary, students will learn the fundamentals of 3D Modeling and 3D Printing, and will take home some of their own creations. Throughout the program we will work in multiple hands-on projects, observe a 3D Printer live in class, and learn trade secrets and best practices.

Ready to bring your creativity into the 21st Century? Join us as we reveal the fundamentals of photography, composition, and digital photo editing! Take it to the next level and dream up your very own make-believe product, then create an advertisement to promote it using AI-Generated images. We will also learn about the components of professional camera gear, and photography’s role in modern media. We can’t wait for you to snap amazing photos with us!
