2024 HMTech Program & Classes

This course will cover the basic concepts of algebra and how it relates to everyday activities.

The brain and behavior are core topics in the study of psychology. Our brain influences how we think, feel, and respond in our lives. In this course, students will learn about the brain and the resulting behavior that are central to our mental health, well-being, and functioning.

Mix it, Make it, Explore it! Take time to understand the composition, structure, and properties of matter through multiple hand-on experiments.

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, …).

This course will cover data analysis, regression and classification. Students will gain a working understanding of applied statistics using examples found in literature in the fields of biotech, business and manufacturing using the R programming language.

This is two part course where students will have an introduction to spaceflight and learn about math for aircraft.

Introduction to Spaceflight: Students will build and test vehicles, learn how to fly in space, and get wet! Topics covered will include rocket propulsion, ascent trajectories, orbital mechanics, and reentry dynamics.

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 is two part course where students will learn about electrolysis and mechatronics.

Electrolysis: In this course, students will learn about the process of using electrolysis to split hydrogen from oxygen in water and its potential real-world applications.

Manta Ray Inspired Flapping-Wing Blimp: In this course, students will be participating in a hands-on activity with the “Flappy” robot to investigate the mechanics of lighter-than-air vehicles.

Through engaging activities, discussions, and real-world examples, students will develop practical skills and attitudes that will serve them well in their journey towards financial independence/success. With topics including: budgeting, banking, credit, debt, financial planning, investments and insurance.

This course will introduce students to the python programming language. The course will be hands on and give students the opportunity to use their learned skill and creativity to write useful code.

This course covers the basics of cybersecurity and Linux, the dangers and benefits of artificial intelligence, and how computer networking works. We will also explore what makes a good (or bad) password and participate in a “hacking” simulation!

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 is three part course where students will learn about the physics of roller coasters, gain an introduction to compounding pharmacy, and investigate robot mechanics.

Thrills and Twists: The Physics of Roller Coasters: This course will have two parts: First, we will cover some of the basic physics concepts that drives the roller coasters we love. Second, students will be given supplies to build and test their own paper roller coasters.
