Spark Studio
In this session, Spark learners will discover how Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math can be used to invent new things to solve real world problems. Learners will explore their wonders about inventions, such as “how does flying work?”. Learners will read and learn about historical figures in STEM and how they solved problems. They will get hands-on experience through science experiments and projects. By the end of session 4, learners will become an inventor themselves!
Discovery Studio
In this session’s Project, Discovery learners will explore how nature’s clever solutions can inspire new ideas to solve everyday problems. From buildings to technology, learners will discover how designs in nature have led to creative inventions around the world. They will also have the opportunity to dive into storytelling by creating their own podcasts, sharing their ideas and using their voice in a powerful way!
Ever wondered what goes into making a podcast? In this session’s Writer’s Workshop, learners will dive into the essentials of podcasting, exploring different podcast formats and discovering what makes a podcast truly engaging. From there, they will select a topic, conduct interviews, write compelling scripts, and perfect their editing skills to produce their very own episodes. The best part? They’ll get to share finished podcasts with our TVS community who’s eager to listen! Let’s get ready to hit “record”!
Adventure Studio
This session for Project, learners will design cities for tomorrow with working electric grids. Working in teams, they’ll explore electrical circuits, energy transformation, and sustainability. From simple circuits to complex grids, they’ll combine creativity and science to tackle big questions about innovation, functionality, and environmental responsibility in city design.
Learners will also step into the world of science fiction by crafting their own original stories. Through discussions, text analysis, and peer feedback, they’ll explore what makes the genre unique and bring their ideas to life! This Communications challenge culminates in the sharing of their imaginative creations with the community.
Health & Wellness
The overarching theme for session 4 will be “Building Bridges”. All learners will be expanding upon conflict resolution strategies that we utilize everyday. Our Spark learners will be exploring what it means to have an argument with a friend, what it feels like, and how we can handle hurting our friend’s feelings. In Discovery, we will explore what it means to be a bridge builder. The learners will practice perspective taking, how they can benefit from different points of view, and how to repair relationships after conflict. In Adventure Studio, we will analyze our mindsets around conflict. Conflict can be an opportunity for change, growth, and transformation. The learners will analyze how they handle conflict and areas where they want to grow.
