We also offer a variety of science electives available for 7th and 8th graders that use the Project Lead the curriculum, which is a hands-on engineering curriculum that provides students with inspiring, engaging, and empowering learning opportunities.  Those courses are Design and Modeling, Robotics in Flight and Space, and Energy in the Environment.
