Class Description

Help us discover the architect and urban planner in your child as we engineer a metropolis! Over the course of the semester, kids explore what it takes to create a metropolitan area with the goal of developing skills to design their own city of choice. From street layouts and building placement to power source identification, students learn about the challenges that designers face when building cities from scratch. How will we light our street lamps? Let’s learn about hydroelectric power and build a working model of a dam out of clay! How will we cross the rivers that surround our island city? Let’s use popsicle sticks and glue to simulate bridges that traverse these wide spans. By the end of the class, Launch kids use teamwork combined with the knowledge they’ve gained to design their own simulated city!

Additional Topics Include: Engineering Design Process, Machines and Materials, Building Types, Transportation Systems, Building Codes / Environmental Considerations

I founded Launch with one mission in mind: Inspire children to love and learn math and science!

Over the course of my career, I enjoyed using math in the real world. Whether building NASA rockets and satellites as an aerospace engineer or building businesses as a Chief Financial Officer, mathematics and science were always the foundation for my achievements. In an effort to share my enthusiasm for math and science, I worked for the largest tutoring company in New York City that provided services under the No Child Left Behind Act and as a professor at a local college in Manhattan.

Instructor's reviews

My daughter actually switched to the other section of this class... 3rd-5th Grade, so I don't want to give this teacher a bad review but she had started in this section (K-2), so that's the review I was sent.

Overall, I found this class to be very disappointing. It was listed as a class taught by a Disney Princess and the class ended up having 3 different teachers during the course. This was confusing for the students and didn't offer any cohesiveness. The teachers couldn't even remember the kids names. At the end of the semester, very few songs or dances were actually taught and the kids mostly played games during the hours of the class. The class isn't inexpensive, so for this, I wouldn't gone somewhere else to give my daughter a better experience and have her learn something.

Harry Potter Camp was so much fun! My girls loved making wands and creating potions...and thinking of mischievous ways to stir trouble at Hogwarts! The creative programming was wonderful for this outdoor day camp and kept my girls busy and having a great time. Their only request was that the day lasted longer! They came home and continued creating ideas to keep the magic going. Thank you!

I feel that this course is not tailored for K-1 grade. K-1 graders need more moving around, especially after a long day at school, then was made possible by the instructor.
