Students will learn how to sculpt 3D models; as well as, how to use a 3D printer, how to do basic maintenance on a printer, how to check their models for defects while creating age and skill appropriate projects. Students will also learn the difference in, pros and cons of, using a FDM (filament based) printer and a Resin printer. We will be using a filament printer in class, though due to health risks posed by Resin Printers, we will also be printing all projects in PLA filament, as it is generally seen as the safest and easiest to use. Students will learn about the pros and cons of various filaments that can be used in this course. The instructor will evaluate each student and give the class project options based on their skill level. Students will work on projects in class. We will be making 3-4 projects per semester. Potential projects include Jewelry Ring, Necklace, solid animal sculpt, color sectioned items to print individual colors and attach post print, clickers, Articulated joints, realistic Character sculpt, multi-section prop (useful in stage production, historical reenactment, Ren Faire, etc,) and full scale armor pieces.

Supply List:

• Tablet that can operate the 3D sculpting software NOMAD SCULPT. An IPad or Android should be able to use it.

Class Description:

This laboratory science course invites students to step into the world of modern forensic investigation through the scientific and technological advancements that make real‑world evidence analysis possible. Guest speakers, including the Chief of Police for Owasso, many hands‑on labs, and two crime-scene simulations make this class lots of fun as students apply concepts from earth science, life science, and physical science, and explore the methods used by forensic scientists today. Two full crime‑scene simulations challenge students to apply their knowledge collaboratively and think like scientists. Students will also have two research projects: to prepare a lab and present it to the class, and to present a paper on a forensic technology or scientist. Because the course includes discussions of a wide range of crimes and investigative techniques, students are expected to engage with maturity, respect, and a clear understanding that this class does not glorify criminal behavior — it examines the science that helps bring truth to light. Designed for motivated learners, this course provides a rigorous, engaging pathway to earning a lab science credit while building real analytical and problem‑solving skills

Class Description:

Bjj (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu)takes pleasure in being regarded as the “gentle art,” enabling a smaller and weaker person to defend himself against a larger opponent by using leverage and submissions (chokes and locks).

The form of training that is offered will be unique in that all of the skills are entirely defensive and do not include any strikes. Students will learn to protect themselves if they are assaulted, as well as how to defuse the danger and regain control. They will develop problem solving skills and prepare to face many problems and obstacles in everyday life, such as dealing with a bully. As a result, it will instill in your child the character traits that will lead to success in many aspects of life.

Jiu Jitsu employs concepts such as reaction, leverage, and base. Students learn to utilize an opponent’s strength to their advantage rather than struggling against it.

It promotes a greater sense of body awareness and coordination, which leads to increased confidence and inner discipline. Kids not only learn self defense effectively, but they also improve their kinesthetic abilities, allowing them to thrive in any other sport in which they participate.

The bulk of the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class time is spent working with partners and practicing moves. This constant close contact enables practitioners to instill the natural phenomenon of body action and reaction to leverage and balance in an interactive manner, rather than individual repetitive moves in theoretical situations. Kids learn to read and anticipate their opponents’ moves, and then respond accordingly. They are continuously exposed to the dynamic, and it gets hard wired into their body’s memory.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu, on the other hand, offers an added benefit: mental toughness. Bjj is a physical chess game in which you are always planning your next move in response to your opponent. Physical contact with other people, a sense of belongingness, goal setting and accomplishment, and confidence gained from learning and performing new skills all contribute to the development of mental toughness.

This class is designed to build a faster, stronger, and more explosive human. Through a combination of dynamic drills and high-energy exercises, students will improve their speed, coordination, balance, and overall physical performance. We will focus on potent plyometric exercises—such as box jumps, bounding, and lateral movements—to train muscles to produce power quickly, which is essential for all sports and teenage adventures. Paired with agility drills, muscle memory will be created to react faster and move more efficiently. In addition to physical benefits, this program builds mental toughness, focus, and confidence. Students will learn proper technique, and how to push themselves safely to reach new performance levels. Whether you’re training for a specific sport or just want to generate a better overall physical skill set, this class provides a challenging and supportive environment to facilitate success.
