Imagineering
Creating worlds, designing attractions, bringing characters to life...
What is it?
Imagineering in a Box is designed to pull back the curtain to show students how artists, designers and engineers work together to create theme parks. We take a behind-the-scenes look that learners love and make it an active experience through student-driven projects. We do this by weaving together videos and exercises into lessons that culminate in a long form project. The goal is to make students aware of careers they never knew existed and deepen their understanding of the process, concepts and terminology of the creative workplace.
If you like Pixar better and want to create animated bouncing balls, build a swarm of robots, or make virtual fireworks explode, check out Pixar in a Box.

Have Netflix?
Check out "brainchild"
"From germs and emotions to social media and more, it's the science of the world explained in a way that's refreshingly relatable." Ms. Kostiniuk's Testimonial: This is a smart, funny series that teaches kid-friendly science concepts. It has a lot of educational value. I even learned a few new things for myself. If you are looking to watch something interesting, this is the show for you! Watch the trailer below! What Parents Need To Know: Parents need to know that Brainchild is a science-inspired educational series that teaches kids about concepts like the senses, neurology, marine biology, and gravity through entertaining visual aids, expert insight, and fun facts. All of the topics are presented at a level that's relatable for kids (especially young tweens), using experiments and creative presentation strategies to reinforce the material. And the youthful host and helpers (a science expert and a sleight-of-hand magician) keep the show engaging throughout. Not only does this series aim to teach kids about science, it also undermines stereotypes about science enthusiasts themselves in the form of its young cast members, two of whom are female. Plus, it offers strong social and emotional messages about self-esteem, self-identity, and being your best you. |
