Course Description

This semester-long course introduces the Creationeering™ process in engineering and business features of entrepreneurship. Students will learn and apply fundamental, age-appropriate physics concepts, design skills, and analysis from selective fields in engineering, such as civil, mechanical, electrical, industrial, etc., with hands-on experience through interactive lessons and labs using LEGO® blocks. Students will analyze the key concepts applicable in the design and assembly of existing, new, and self-made products/processes through the lens of CreationeeringTM. As a result, the student will be able to design and assemble a product. Through the integration of scriptural analysis, students will realize that intelligent design embodies and governs all aspects of engineering and business. This course is recommended for eighth-grade students who have completed MAT0700. Seventh-grade students who register should be comfortable with solving 1- and 2-step equations. This course requires the purchase of an at-home physical lab kit in order to perform the labs for this course. A lab fee will be assessed automatically during Financial Check-In, and the fee is also listed on the fees page. The kit will be shipped from the first day of class and should arrive at your home within the first two weeks after the course start date. Please ensure that an accurate shipping address is on file during Financial Check-In as that will be the address to which the lab kit is shipped.
