New Hands-on at After School

While doing so, we try to make our classes as fun and interactive as possible. The most recent additions to our curriculum have been classes in Experiment-based Physics in Electricity and Magnetism, and Expirement-based Computer Programming.

Experiment-based Physics in Electricity and Magnetism is a new, exciting part of After School University curriculum for middle through high and high school students. This 15 class course is taken simultaneously with Physics classes on Electricity & Magnetism. The students learn electronic circuitry (including the details of parallel and series connections), main electronic components (resistors, diodes, transistors, and electronic chips), and main laws necessary for building electronic devices. They learn also how to simulate electronic circuits and how to create electronic devices by themselves from scratch.

Experiment-based Computer Programming is a practical curriculum, teaching students how to control an external device using a computer. Using LabView programming language, students perform exciting projects using digital output signals from a computer and capturing signals from outside, into a computer. This is an extremely useful course of classes which will keep students thrilled.

In order to accommodate the more tactile nature of these classes, we renovated what was once just our computer lab. We are excited to announce that we now have three extra classrooms and a place specifically set up for all experiment-based classes. We encourage you to come and check out our new look, and maybe see a demonstration or two.
