Step into the world of invention and discovery in this hands-on engineering class! Each week, students will tackle real-world design challenges—building bridges, simple machines, egg drop challenges, launching rockets, testing and building various structures, and more. While completing these projects, students will learn the underlying science and engineering concepts that make them work. They will explore energy, including different forms and how they are harnessed in engineering applications; force and motion, investigating Newton’s Laws and how forces affect the movement of objects; materials science, examining the properties of different materials and how they influence design choices; and structural stability, understanding the importance of balance and strength in building resilient structures. Using creativity, teamwork, and the Engineering Design Process, students will brainstorm, prototype, test, and refine their projects, learning how math, physics, and engineering principles turn ideas into real solutions. By the end of the class, they will understand the science behind engineering and experience the excitement of designing and building their own inventions.

This dynamic high school course introduces students to forensic psychology with a focus on criminal profiling. Students explore the psychological factors driving criminal behavior and learn to analyze crime scenes, behavioral patterns, and evidence to build offender profiles. The curriculum covers key topics including the psychology of offenders, deception detection, insanity defenses, and distinctions between types of violent offenders such as serial and mass murderers. The course integrates hands-on activities such as case study analyses, simulated crime scene profiling, and collaborative projects where students work as investigative teams to solve mysteries. Legal concepts related to forensic psychology, including court procedures and the role of psychological evidence in trials, are also examined. Critical thinking, scientific inquiry, and ethical considerations guide the learning experience, preparing students for careers in law enforcement, forensic psychology, and criminal justice.
