Courses
Algebra II and Trigonometry
In this in-person Algebra/Trigonometry course, it is divided into several lessons: Complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic functions, conic sections, higher degree polynomial functions, and trigonometry. This course focuses on math concepts, common core goals, and test taking skills. Students would be using "Delta Math" that provide correct answer feedback.
Pre-Algebra/ Algebra Prep
The Math Advantage Prep course will review the fundamentals of mathematics. The fundamentals include the basic operations of arithmetic on whole numbers, fractions and decimals. These operations will be used in dealing with ratio, proportions, percent, simple geometry and algebra. As students demonstrate understanding of these basic concepts, they will progress into higher-level topics such as the use of variables; properties of numbers and of equality; solving equations and inequalities; problem solving. The Math Advantage Prep course will follow the Common Core State Standards, as well as the mathematical practices which are designed for students to achieve success in the major topics that Pre-Algebra covers.
Introduction of Medical Field and Public Health
The "Intro of Healthcare and Public Health" course provides middle and high school students with a comprehensive and engaging introduction to essential healthcare and public health concepts. Students will explore basic human anatomy and physiology, learning about major body systems, their interactions, and the functions of vital organs. The course covers the roles and responsibilities of various healthcare professionals and facilities, offering insights into preventive care, medical treatments, and personal health management. Emphasis is placed on promoting healthy lifestyle choices, mental health awareness, and disease prevention. Students will gain a foundational understanding of public health fundamentals, including disease spread, public health initiatives, and global health challenges. The course also examines healthcare systems, comparing different models and discussing issues of access and disparities, as well as the role of technology in healthcare and future trends. Hands-on learning experiences, such as first aid and CPR training, equip students with practical skills.
Introduction to AI (Artificial Intelligence)
Students will engage in a series of projects using various AI programs to deepen their understanding of artificial intelligence and its diverse applications. These projects will cover a wide range of areas, including but not limited to, writing and storytelling, where students will use AI tools to generate creative narratives and craft compelling stories. Additionally, they will explore programming and game design by developing their own video games with the help of AI technologies.
Introduction to Arduino and Raspberry PI Technology
Students will be introduced to STEM and IT related aspects. Here students will be able to combine Stem with real-world applications that are being used currently while coming up with ways to make things better with this new type of technology. Topics covered will be Introduction to Arduino and Raspberry PI, building Internet of Things (example: Alexa) and incorporating 3D printing to the class.
Introduction to Virtual Reality (VR)
This immersive class introduces kids to virtual reality in a fun and safe way. Students will explore VR environments, learn how VR works, and even create simple interactive experiences. Designed to spark curiosity and creativity, the course encourages problem-solving and digital literacy through age-appropriate tools
Medical Research Lab: From Concept to Presentation
The "Medical Research Lab: From Concept to Presentation" course is designed for high school students eager to explore the healthcare field through the lens of research and communication. Over 4 weeks, students will embark on a journey that combines critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration to develop and present a professional research poster on a healthcare-related topic of their choice. Students will begin by mastering essential research techniques, learning how to locate credible sources, evaluate information, and synthesize findings into a clear and compelling narrative. They will then dive into the world of research posters, understanding how to design visually engaging and academically rigorous displays that effectively communicate complex information. This course not only prepares students for future studies and careers in healthcare but also equips them with lifelong skills in research, critical thinking, and effective communication. Whether aspiring to be a healthcare professional, researcher, or advocate, students will leave with a deeper understanding of how to articulate ideas and inspire change.
Headache & Arts Workshop, Facilitated by the Department of Neurology at NYU Langone Health
This course is a Brain-Arts Program called "Headache and Arts", this special BTG workshop will be conducted in collaboration with the Department of Neurology at NYU Langone Health. This workshop gives students an opportunity to learn about neuroanatomy, vision, perception, migraine and concussion symptoms, and some hands-on art practice. The goal of the workshop is to increase public awareness of migraine and concussions, and empower students to share what they've learned with their families and communities.
Aviation & ESPORTS Career Explorers
This Aviation & Esports Career Explorers program introduces students to the exciting worlds of aviation and esports through hands-on flight simulation, gaming-based learning, and career exploration. Designed to close the opportunity gap in both industries, this program provides S.T.E.A.M. based experiences that develop critical thinking, communication, and technical skills. Students will gain exposure to real-world aviation and esports professions while participating in interactive lessons and simulations.
