Facilities
The Upper School opened a new three level, 2015年秋季,最先进的Dr Lynne B Harrison STEM中心. 建筑的两层专门用于STEM,并为机器人团队提供了一个完整的比赛场地, dedicated areas for project construction, 额外的3D打印机和一个库存充足的车间,为学生提供工具和仪器, including a laser cutter and CNC router.
每位学生都有机会参加Golda Och学院的STEM俱乐部和丰富课程, which meet during recess, lunch or after school. In the Lower School, 4th and 5th graders can join the STEM club, 哪一个每周开一次会来做工程项目. 俱乐部成员主要以小组形式工作, design, test and improve their solutions to a challenge.
Our offerings at the Upper School include Math club, Robotics team, 科学丰富俱乐部和卓越2000 (E2K)计划. 所有高年级学生都可以参加科学丰富俱乐部, 每周聚会一次,参加新泽西科学奥林匹克竞赛, 东芝ExploraVision和其他比赛期间. 永利总站的新天文台是完全计算机化的,学生们将能够排队观测,这些观测将在夜间自动运行. Featuring a 9.25” optical telescope and a sophisticated camera, 永利总站的装置将能够拍摄行星甚至遥远星系的图像.
Dr Lynne B Harrison高中STEM课程是一个为期三年半的课程序列,学生可以选择在必修的科学和数学课程之外学习. Through collaborative group work and hands-on, project-based learning, students develop important problem-solving skills. 他们利用工程设计过程成为创新的思考者,并对自己独立学习的能力充满信心. 学生可以在永利总站的STEM中心使用最先进的工具和技术, including 3D printers, laser cutters, and a CNC router, 并被鼓励使用他们掌握的每一种工具来实现他们的想法.
Year 3: Entrepreneurship & Capstone Projects Students work in groups to research, design, and implement creative solutions to self-defined, real-world problems through the lens of tikkun olam (repair of the world). 当他们发展自己的想法并构建原型,试图解决他们选择解决的问题时, 学生们还将学习诸如品牌推广等创业技能, pitching their ideas, and marketing. 这些顶点项目将在春季的CIJE创新日上展示.
学生以2-3人为一组,创建一个解决现实世界需求或问题的项目. Students research their ideas, come up with a design proposal, build a prototype or fully functioning system, and put together a final report and presentation.
