Union Pleasant Elementary School: January 2019

Jr. Aerospace Engineering (K-2nd grade)

Your child will learn about Aerospace Engineering by examining and creating all kinds of flying objects. The students will learn about lift, gyroscopic rotation, potential and kinetic energy as they create jets, whirling copters, rockets, and more

Apprentice VEX IQ Robotics (3rd-5th grade)

A VEX IQ class is designed to expose students to STEM fundamentals within the context of building a robot. Without even realizing it, students will begin to instinctively apply these lessons to their as they advance through the program. This hands-on process establishes an intuitive and deep-rooted expertise that simply cannot be replicated by traditional teaching methods. Once the children have built the robots they will then compete with teammates to achieve various missions!
