By providing the opportunity to master and apply these techniques, this course will enable students to become more persuasive, confident, and successful.
Robotics
In the break-neck world of today, code shapes the reality around us, enables us to automate our daily lives, craft enticing experiences, and powers all of the most sophisticated algorithms on the planet. The story of a great software engineer always starts young: whether as a simple problem solver or a programming prodigy, it’s important to sow the seeds of strong problem decomposition and algorithmic thinking early. There is no better way to learn for any child than through play. Enrollees will create fun-to-play games as they learn the fundamentals of coding. This course will instill a passion for software development and critical thinking within them.
English & History
Humanities help us understand people, cultures, and the stories that shape our world. Over the course of one week, students will explore the fundamentals of subjects like history, geography, and literature through engaging discussions and interactive activities. We will begin by examining important events, places, and stories, and asking questions about how they connect to our lives today. Throughout the week, students will build skills in reading, writing, and critical thinking while exploring different perspectives and ideas. By encouraging creativity, curiosity, and thoughtful discussion, this course will help students become more informed, empathetic, and confident in expressing their ideas.
Foundations of Mathematics
Regardless of what career path one chooses, math is one of the most valued and in-demand skills out there. Over the course of a week, students will be introduced to the most crucial building blocks of math, which will allow them to achieve notable success in both the classroom and the real world. Students will also be taught how to apply these mathematical principles to more complex, competition math problems, which will enable them to flourish in competitive math settings. By the end of this course, students will be armed with a foundational understanding of advanced math, enabling them to achieve success both inside and outside of the classroom.
Principles of Chess Strategy
For centuries, chess has been one of the most popular games in the world and continues to reign as one of the best tests of strategy and intellect.

Hands-on-learning throughout childhood is one of the best ways to fine tune motor skills in children. This Arts and Crafts course provides interactive, fun activities for children to make, keeping them entertained. Each day, students will be provided with a new craft that helps them learn basic skills: how to use scissors, clean up messes, and how to persevere through difficult steps within the craft.
Psychology and Science
Science plays a key role in helping us understand the world around us, from how plants grow to why the sky changes colors. Over the course of one week, students will explore the exciting fundamentals of science through hands-on experiments and interactive activities. We will begin by observing everyday phenomena and asking questions about how and why things happen. Throughout the week, students will learn core scientific concepts in areas such as biology, chemistry, and physics, and apply them through fun, real-life lessons. By encouraging curiosity, critical thinking, and exploration, this course will help students develop a deeper appreciation for science while building problem-solving skills and confidence in their ability to discover new ideas.
Volleyball
Volleyball is a fast-paced and exciting sport that builds teamwork, coordination, and confidence. Over the course of one week, students will learn the fundamental skills of volleyball, including serving, passing, setting, and hitting.
