2025 HMTech Classes

Core Class

The classes are designed to build the students’ knowledge on a specific area week after week and produce a final project or demonstration on the last Saturday.

*Note: Students will select one core class and then will attend all of the STEM Exploratorium tracks.

  • This course will introduce students to microcontrollers and how to program them. The course will cover a Circuit Playground Express (microcontroller) introduction, Python introduction, and programming the microcontroller sensors (temp, light, …).

  • Math for Aircraft: This course will allow students to explore how math can help them to design better paper airplanes and launching devices, while understanding how aircrafts work.

  • This course will introduce you to the design and programming of a FIRST Tech Challenge-class robot. You’ll learn about fundamental engineering principles; design and build a robot from scratch; and you’ll program it to compete against other robots.

  • This course will help students develop creative computer games that they can showcase to each other and to friends and family.

  • STEM Exploratorium

    These classes for students are designed to teach a new topic each week and expand the student’s knowledge of the different Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics fields of study. The students will rotate through each of the 6 STEM classes.

    *Note: Students will select one core class and then will attend all of the STEM Exploratorium tracks.
