Course Description: Embark on an ocean-themed educational journey to explore and connect to the world through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The instructor will use the FIRST LEGO League Explorer Curriculum to focus on the fundamentals of engineering and inspire students to experiment and grow critical thinking and design skills. Together, we will learn how and why people explore the ecosystems in the ocean’s layers. Teams experience an engineering process to help them learn to design, code, and create unique solutions to 21st-century problems using LEGO bricks and a LEGO Education SPIKE set. Teams will explore complex questions, investigate solutions, use creative thinking, and share learning accomplishments.

Course Length

What the length of this course is for the school year

  • Session - These classes may be attended for individual sessions. Once you sign up the teacher will keep you signed up. If you are unable to attend the next session please notify the teacher so they may offer that spot to somebody else.
  • Semester - These classes are offered in 15 week intervals. Like the School Year Classes, these classes build on the information that was taught in the previous classes you must join at the beginning of the semester and continue through the 15 weeks. If you are unable to continue you are still obligated to pay for the entire semester as that spot may no longer be filled.

If you are unable to continue you are still obligated to pay for the entire year as that spot may no longer be filled.
  • Open - You may join these classes at any time. As a courtesy you are still required to notify the teacher if you will no longer be attending.
