Speaker Agreement—Dreams for Schools Page 4 d. Option 1 - 2 workshops of 1.5 hours each followed by a 3-hour workshop e. Option 2 - 2 workshops of 3 hours each Class Option Notes: • Class dates/times to be determined. • Option 1 can be run on weekdays in late afternoons/evenings followed by a workshop on weekend • Option 2 can be run on weekends II STEAM Classes Information: Web Development Students will be exposed to STEAM and text-based coding through Web Development. By utilizing languages such as HTML, Javascript,CSS, and the Bootstrap framework, students will go through the Cat Paw Easter Egg project and then create the foundations of their own website. They'll learn about concepts like chatbots,recommendation systems, and dynamic content generation,preparing them for careers in AI-enhanced web development and design. Students can use advanced Javascript concepts to further program and customize their websites. Arduino Program Students will get hands-on experience with the Arduino microcontroller and coding environment to solve real-world electronics and coding problems. Students will use electronic sensors, resistors, LEDs, micro-servo motors, breadboards, and more to design and develop their very own projects. In each workshop, students will incorporate the concepts they have learned by wiring and coding an Arduino to create fully functional projects. The curriculum gives students the space to build on and improve their skills to tackle each new challenge. This practical experience prepares students for careers in robotics, smart home technology development, and AI-integrated hardware design. Mobile App Development Students will learn game design and development using block-based learning, equipping them to create their own apps through the AppJam+program. Through the AppJam+program, students will learn how to use AI tools to their advantage for developing user interfaces and content generation. This experience lays the groundwork for careers in AI mobile development and smart device programming. At the end of the workshops, students will have developed their own mobile application based on the grant's themes and will present it to their peers. II Program Outcomes: By the end of the programs, students in each cohort will: • Gain foundational knowledge in their respective tech areas, with a focus on learning about AI concepts • Complete a final project demonstrating their acquired skills • Build a portfolio piece showcasing their tech skills for future academic or career opportunities • Develop problem-solving and critical thinking abilities essential for AI and workforce-driven careers • Understand the roles available to them as potential career paths
