After School Ceramics Class
Rio del Mar’s After School Program will be offering another Ceramics enrichment class taught by Jenni Ward. Jenni is an experienced Spectra Art teacher through the Cultural Council of Santa Cruz.
Description:
This class will learn the basic forms of ceramics and have the opportunity to have their projects fired and glazed. There will be a $75 charge for the teacher, supplies and kiln fee. Students in 2nd through 6th grade will able to participate. Students who have taken the class may continue because she does new projects.
Dates – Thursdays in the cafeteria starting on January 21st – March 25th
Times – 2:00 – 3:25 p.m.
Please check the after school website for the students’ first 20 names who were enrolled in the class. There will be five slots for alternates.

LEGO ROBOTIC CLASS DESCRIPTION
Engineering 1 (E1) - Students grades 3-8 will learn by doing! Working with a partner, students will cooperatively build and modify machines exhibiting basic engineering principles. Course uses industrial machines to cover the concepts of gears and gear ratios, simple machines, structures, forces in motion and more and is capped off with a final project.
[room requirements: tables, not desks]
[class size=12 to 24 students]
Vehicle Engineering (VE) – An exciting class where kids build 13 different vehicles capped off with a final project. Some of these vehicles haven’t been invented in the “real” world yet! Vehicles include everyday vehicles, concept cars, construction machines and more, to cover gearing and gear ratios, electric motors and energy, friction and forces in motion, and aerodynamics. Working with partners students will cooperatively build and modify machines exhibiting basic engineering principles. Appropriate for ages 8 to 12 years.
[room requirements: tables, not desks]
[class size=12 to 24 kids]
BATTLE BOTS (BB)- Students, ages 8 and up, learn to design and build their own motorized battle vehicles that battle demolition derby style. Working with a partner, students will cooperatively build and modify machines exhibiting basic engineering principles; simple and complex machines, gearing, and mechanical advantage. Students will try to flip, push, or smash their opponent’s battle vehicles. Brain over brawn through applied physics. Lessons demonstrate the use of mechanical lifts, nets, drills, ramps and more to disable or overcome other bots.
[room requirements: tables, not desks]
[class size=12 to 24 kids]
