Shrewsbury Public Schools

Imagine this: You're sitting playing your favorite video game and the screen cracks! Suddenly you are transported directly into your game and you need to physciall play it in order to get back to the real world! The Screen seems to have a crack what is happening? Oh, I am somehow transported into my video game and now need to play the game in person to be back in the normal world. Play some video games and work on some of the skills that come with technology. Play some sports and craft some different games to do them in real life! We're offering part 2 of the class in July, with totally different games and challenges. You can sign up for either session, or both sessions!

Space, the final frontier! Dive into the wonders of space through crafts and science experiments. Learn about our solar system, planets, stars, and so much more! Rocket ships and meteors. The moons and even the unknown... Aliens? Look into space and see what we can learn and find!

Animals are not only cute but also important for our eco-system! Learn about animals from around the world through creative art and hands-on activities. We have so many different environments on our planet and they support different types of animals. Learn more about your favorite animals, how they live and how they adapt to their region of the world!

It's a star, It's a plane, It's a student From Shrewsbury Public Schools! What if you woke up one day and discovered you have superpowers? What woud your power be? What would your costume look like? Who would you save? We'll have lots of games and projects to help us imagine what it is like to be a superhero. You'll even create your own comic book with you as the main character!

After you press a few buttons, your time machine powers up, and you are traveling back in time, WAY back! It's hot, and these large creatures roam the earth, it's a dinosaur! Now you are moving a little forward, and you notice knights, princesses, and princes. Is that a round table? Wait, now you see fancy party with beautiful music, it must be the Victorian era. One more day, then it's time to come back to 2025, but first, let's see how America looked back in the old West and see those pioneers and cowboys!

Did you know that 71% of the Earth is ocean, and scientists are still discovering new things about it! Each day will involve a deep dive to look into a part of the science and what it has to show us! There will be lots of fun crafts and activities to do that will allow us to take a closer look into the ocean and learn a little bit more about our beautiful world!

BOOM, the video game just shattered my screen, and once again I am in a real-life Video game! This is part two of the Video Games Class with new games and new tasks. We'll learn more about creative design for games and building your own experiences! Lots of real-life connections to show different aspects of what goes on in the world around us, like buildings, weather, and growing food. Class content will be different from the class offered in June, so students are welcome to take both!

Develop engineering and problem-solving skills through hands-on building activities. We’ll use a variety of materials to build structures and use them in different challenges. Through trial and error, we’ll learn about forces that make things move and structures that can withstand them, techniques for creating strong weight-bearing structures, and so much more.
