Imagine using physics principles to design your own superhero, learning how to invest and run a real business, or practicing the art and psychology of game design. Part summer camp, part academic class, Hun Adventures are project-based learning experiences that are designed to stimulate the imagination and tickle the funny bone.
Choose one, two, or three week sessions in three distinct learning tracks: Business, STEAM, and Humanities. Each session draws on multiple disciplines, requires collaboration, involves Shark-tank style pitches, and leads to a culminating project that parents and kids will be proud of.
Hun Adventures in STEAM classes dispel some of the "movie magic" our students have been introduced to. In Week 1, we'll learn what it really takes to develop superpowers. In Week 2, we'll talk about how films were created before the age of CGI, and it Week 3, we'll talk about some of the effects used to create some of the video games our kids know and love. Courses run from 8:00 - 10:00 a.m. Students can join for one themed week, or attend all three in a series. The series runs twice this summer, beginning June 28th and July 19th. Read a brief description of each weeklong class below.
Hun Adventures in Business brings out the entrepreneurial spirit of our students! In Week 1, students learn about the world of finance, including loans, advertising value, and stocks. In Week 2, students start to understand what it takes to build a business and in Week 3 they have the opportunity to build a pitch for a coveted (and pretend) $1 million grant. Classes run from 10:20 a.m. - 12:20 p.m. each day, and students can join for just one week or all three. The series runs twice this summer, beginning June 28th and July 19th. Read a brief description of each weeklong class below.
In these courses, students will study a different historical era each week, digging into the culture, fads, struggles, and victories. In each unit, students will explore interactive activities such as Virtual Reality, historical fiction, fashion magazines, movies, and photographs to bring the historical period to life. Courses run from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. each day. Students can join in for one week or take the three-week series. The series begins on June 28th and then repeats on July 19th.
