Other courses open to a variety of ages focus on 3D printing, acting, art, animals, cooking, crime scene investigation, photography and “Star Wars.”
One-week courses are offered on campus Monday through Friday, from July 6-31. Students can take full- or half-day courses. Full-day courses are held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a one-hour lunch. Half-day courses, which are offered from 9 a.m. to noon or 1 to 4 p.m., can also be taken back-to-back to create a full-day schedule. Before and after care will be offered as well.
The courses are designed for public, private and home-schooled gifted and talented students. A student’s gifted and talented status is determined by the school they attend, based on the student’s abilities in the areas of general intellectual capabilities, specific academic aptitudes, or the creative, visual or performing arts.
