TinkerCAD or Blender will be introduced to students. Focus would be on 3D modeling first.

SJAWP Novel Writing Program: Writer’s Salon & Workshop Calling all teen writers who want a community with whom to share writing without the commitment of a full length course! Our Teen Writer's Salon is a space in which students can write alongside other teens and workshop writing while making friends with other budding novelists. Our Writer's Salon will meet three times this fall for live zoom sessions that begin with a prompt and writing warm up followed by student readings of works in progress. We have built this space to allow students to stay connected to our Teen Writer's Institute programs and to experience the writing community offered by our Novel Writing Program. There will be no set lectures or assignments; rather, in this course, students will write together and receive peer feedback in a process facilitated by our author in residence, Hannah Jayne. Come join us and walk away with notes on a piece of writing, a peer group connected by the common pursuit of a creative writing life, and a clearer idea of how to make writing fit into your busy lifestyle! Zoom Classes will be held on SATURDAYS with tentative dates: February 28 - 11am - 12:30pm March 28 - 11am - 12:30pm April 25 - 9am-2pm (in person at SJSU) May 23 - 11am - 12:30pm

The online form lesson is a required hour-long drawing class that will introduce the idea of using values to create form. This class also explains composition and composition studies to prepare your child for a successful session of art-making. Requirements Graphite or ebony pencil Eraser Sheet of paper (computer paper, sketchbook or drawing paper if available)

Let’s all be creative together! Every 2nd Monday in September through May, I will offer a guided acrylic painting on canvas for students and their families both in-studio and virtually. You can drop off your student or stay and paint ;)

In Drawing/Painting Class we will create a variety of fine art projects focusing on technique and style, composition, brushwork, and systematic practice. KVArteest will give input on our subject matter, as we together decide what we want to learn.

Outcome Introduces beginners to programming fundamentals, focusing on logic, coding, and systems through hands-on Python activities. Students build a strong foundation for further learning. Students learn core skills like problem-solving and pattern recognition by tackling relatable challenges such as optimizing a store checkout line showing how these abilities apply across fields from tech to medicine to the arts. We begin with practical problems before introducing technical concepts, ensuring students grasp the “why” behind what they learn. This hands-on, engaging approach sparks creativity, builds confidence, and equips students with versatile skills for any future path.

A. Course Overview: The Python Programming curriculum is a one-semester course covering topics typically found in introductory computer programming (coding) courses. Other introductory programming courses are not required; students merely need to have typical computer usage skills prior to starting this course. B. Teaching Strategies: The course material is designed to appeal to a variety of students, from traditional learners who thrive on written text to audio-visual students who enjoy a multi-media format. All content is delivered through an online system that allows students to work seamlessly both in the classroom and at home. The main chapters concentrate on Python programming and computer science topics. Certain states may require additional topics ranging from computing ethics and security to career exploration to the impact of computers on modern society. The course contains additional supplemental chapters at the end that can optionally be used to meet common state requirements. Teachers may choose to assign Supplemental Lessons as desired to meet state standards or student interest. The final “Creative Project” is optional and can be completed in small groups C. Course Planner: Some classes may move faster or slower than the suggested pace. The planner assumes students are working daily with approximately 45 to 60 minutes of class time. In most cases, the planner estimates one day per lesson (including the lesson quiz), one day per graded chapter activity (lab), and one day per chapter test. Some larger labs are assigned more time.
