SCHOOLTRIBE EXTENDED TECH CAMP AT TOKYO AMERICAN CLUB
Program Description
OPEN TO NON-MEMBERS!
Extend the day after Tokyo American Club’s spring discovery camp and join us for our science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) program. This program encourages critical thinking and problem-solving while strengthening children’s ability to turn 2D prototypes (ideas) into 3D working models (products). Lessons in science provide an intro to experimental design and scientific methodology. While our tech classes provide an early entry into robotic manipulation and coding. Our classes are geared toward leaders of the future with an interest in product design and development, and a passion for creating, building, tinkering, and problem-solving with the use of technology in a safe and nurturing environment.
WHAT WILL I LEARN IN THIS STEAM TECH CAMP?
SCIENCE: Explore energy’s ability to cause motion or create change.
TECHNOLOGY: Learn to code with computers and iPads using simple commands using Scratch block programming
ENGINEERING: Develop, test, and refine robotic prototypes.
ART: Design and problem-solve through a creative process.
MATH: Change numeric variables to manipulate systems
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THIS CLASS?
SchoolTribe classes foster children’s curiosity and creativity and offer kids the opportunity to explore new passions. A strong STEAM curriculum in early life lets your child be better prepared for the multi-skilled job demands of the future. Join us on a journey of endless discovery and innovation. Sign up!
