Curriculum - Learning Undefeated

How Water Moves

Students will use an Augmented Reality (AR) sandbox to see how water flows over landforms and how the motion changes when the landscape changes.

Hypersonics

Students explore thermodynamics and the importance of heat transfer as it relates to speeds over Mach 5.

Identifying Lung Cancer with Biomarkers

Students use Biomarkers to Identify Lung Cancer Subtypes and discover how ELISA tests can diagnose different types of lung cancer.

It’s All in Your Head

Students discover the mechanics of concussions, test and evaluate different helmet materials, and walk away with a better understanding of how future technologies can make athletic play safer.

Jack and the Beanstalk

Students will engage in a STEM challenge to build the tallest structure in 25 minutes that can hold a toy figure (Jack) for one minute.

Lean Manufacturing

Improve an out-of-date airplane assembly plant to learn about process improvement, kaizen, and push/pull assembly flow.

Looking Into Lactase

Students explore enzymatic activity by investigating the mechanism behind lactose intolerance.

Mystery of the Crooked Cell

Students explore genetic diseases and tracing genetics through the use of Punnett squares and gel electrophoresis.

Ohm’s Law

Students will work to understand how devices like a three-speed fan or a dimmer switch adjust the flow of electricity in a circuit to have different outputs.

Parasite Predicament

Students will explore the prevalence of malaria nationwide while determining whether or not their patient has contracted the malaria parasite.

RADAR

Students explore wave properties through the lens of radars and collect simulated data of an object in motion.
