Computer Keyboarding
Grades 5 – 10
Does your child need to strengthen keyboarding skills in order to work more
effectively on the computer? Using a computer requires a system for typing
speed and accuracy. In this class, students will learn multisensory touch-typing
and the skills needed to improve their keyboarding skills. The goal for students
is to improve their typing speed to be better than their best handwriting
speed. Student attendance the first week of class is essential in order to ensure
foundation skills are learned.
Digital Animation
Grades 6 – 8
This course will introduce students to the technical skills used in the 3D
animation process from modeling to rendering. Students will learn the basics of
3D modeling, surfacing, rigging, animation, lighting, and rendering techniques
in Blender (a 3D animation suite). Students will first create a 3D environment
with primitives and pose a character rig. Animation projects include a guided
bouncing ball animation and customized obstacle course animation. Students
will access digital course materials and save project files on Google Drive.
