Classes for gifted kids at IEA Online!

 

Deadline Jan 4! We're teaching gifted kids online again spring term (starts last week of January 2021) through

Institute for Educational Advancement.

Check out our courses, both offered Monday afternoons:

 
Medieval Battle Tech (ages 9-12) Students learn about 14th-century technology, politics and strategy. Then they design (using CAD and a 3D printer) historically-plausible secret weapons. We role-play relitigating the battle of Agincourt and others with the "secret weapons."

 

Hacker Geometry (ages 10-14) Hands on geometry with a bit of astrononomy and physics mixed in, and some 3D printing. 

 

For both courses, IEA will create prints if students don't have their own printer.
