Swift Coding
Create an app; bring your ideas to life! Learn the language
of technology. Swift is a powerful but easy to learn
programming language from Apple. This interactive, fun
program is great for novice coders of all ages.
Grades 2 - 4: Period 1 Grades 5 - 8: Period 2
Session: One or Two Tuition: $135
3-2-1 Blast Off!
Design, build, and launch your own flight vehicle!
Rocketry class includes lessons in physics and flight, fluid
dynamics, stability, and aerodynamics.
Grades 6 - 8: Period 2
Session: One or Two
Tuition: $130
Building Mathematical Minds
It’s important to be challenged, have fun, and feel
successful in mathematics, especially during the early
years of developing the mathematical mind. Explore
patterns, geometry, statistics, measurement, data, and
many types of numbers. You will not only learn problemsolving
strategies but also how to recognize any math
misconceptions, all while having a great time.
Grades 4 - 6: Period 3
Session: One or Two
Tuition: $130
Geometry for Credit
This class has been approved by Sandia Prep’s
Mathematics Chair and can be taken for credit by Sandia
Prep students only. (To earn credit, a student may not
miss more than one class and must earn a C or higher in
the course.) Upon successful completion, a student will
be placed into Pre-Calculus the following year. (This is a
6-week class for Sandia Prep students only.)
Grades: 9 - 11 Time: 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
When: June 1 - July 10 Tuition: $1,000
Math Whiz
This class is all about having fun with numbers. Through
a combination of games, songs, and hands-on activities,
you’ll be a math whiz in no time!
Grades 1 - 3: Period 1 or 2
Session: One or Two
Tuition: $130
Robotics
Experience the world of robotics! Younger students will
mostly build robots, while older students will learn to
program and build robots from LEGO®, Mindstorms®,
and K’Nex®. Plus, learn a bit about the history of robots
and see how they are being used in science fiction and
real life.
Grades K - 2: Period 4

Grades 5 - 8: Period 1
Session: One or Two
Tuition: $130
Bootstrap Algebra®: Designing
Your Own Video Game
A player, a target, and a danger: Combining
mathematical concepts with computer programming,
create a simple, three-character video game. Design what
each character looks like and use mathematical concepts
such as coordinate planes, order of operations, ratio and
proportion, domain and range, function composition,
word problems, and the distance formula to detect
collisions, handle keystrokes, and determine how the
characters move and interact. (In addition to learning
programming, students who take Bootstrap Algebra
have shown improvement on standard pencil-and-paper
algebra tasks.)
Grades 7 - 9 Period 1 & 2 (BOTH PERIODS)
Session: SESSION ONE ONLY
