2020 Marburn Academy Summer School Brochure

MARBURN AC A DE MY

SUMMER SCHOOL JUNE 18 – JULY 17, 2020

arburn’s Summer School is an immersive, academic-focused program built for students who learn differently and are eager to learn. Throughout the four-week program, students discover their academic strengths, build confidence, minimize summer learning loss, and prepare for the following school year.

Instruction and lessons include evidence-based approaches that are delivered 1:1 or in small groups using multisensory teaching that promotes retention.

Programs are specifically designed for students with average to above average intelligence, who also learn differently due to reading, writing, mathematics and attentional difficulties. While the best fit for our summer program are students with an official diagnosis of ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia, it is not a requirement that a child have an official diagnosis to attend Summer School.

In addition to the morning program, an extended day option is available for students in our Lower Division Summer School. This program provides an opportunity to experience COSI’s fun, interactive, and educational programs while providing parents the flexibility of a full-day option.

During the week campers will explore energy, circuitry, and the “language” robots speak: programming! Working in pairs, campers will get hands-on programming basics with Ozo Bots, then take control of Bee Bots, and move to LEGO® Mindstorms® EV3 robots. Through participation, campers will practice programming, sequencing, measurement, teamwork and more as they test and adjust their plan one step at a time.

Week 4: Coaster Creations (July 13 - 17) Hold on tight! This open inquiry, engineering design Camp is filled with ups and downs as campers explore the engineering process, communication, and collaboration. Campers will flex their engineering brain as they work in teams to build their own roller coaster around chairs, through desks, and across chalkboards. With limitless flexible track, supports, and marbles, if they can dream it, they can design it, build it, test it, and redesign it until their coaster is ready to thrill!
