AAUW Huntsville is pleased to offer Tech Trek, a week-long, residential STEM camp for girls entering
8th grade on the campus of the University of Alabama in Huntsville. The camp will be held in July
2015. Campers pay a $50 fee to attend the program. At Tech Trek, girls are immersed in a world that
empowers and encourages them to think about themselves as future scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and computer specialists. This one-week STEM camp for rising eighth-grade girls got its
start 15 years ago in California and since expanded to seven states including Alabama in 2014 when
the first Tech Trek camp was hosted at UAH. Campers take part in activities like building and programming robots, extracting their own DNA, learning how computer simulations are used to predict
weather patterns, and much more! Tech Trek has been shown to significantly increase girl’s selfconfidence and their interest in and excitement about the STEM fields.

Bricks4kidz is a hands-on class where students will
learn principles of science, technology, engineering
and mathematics then build projects constructed out
of LEGO® bricks that reinforce the learned principles. While exploring engineering, architecture and
physics, students will develop problem solving and critical thinking skills. The spatial/relational thinking necessary to follow the project instructions taps into both the visual and kinesthetic learning
styles of many children. Kinesthetic or tactile learners learn by doing. Also, playing with LEGO®
bricks is highly motivating, so children are more likely to retain information that is delivered in the
context of something that interests them.
We offer in school field trips that cover a wide range of topics from Life Science to energy. Our proprietary models are used to provide hands on learning of the topic of discussion. Our in school field
trips cost $6/student and we bring everything to the class: Instructors, Model plans, LEGO® bricks,
Motors, take home sheets. These field trips can be used with students in grades K - 7.
After School Program: This is a hands-on class where students build machines, buildings, vehicles
and other structures out of LEGO® bricks, using one-of-a-kind model plans designed by Bricks 4 Kidz.
While exploring principles of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and more, students
will develop problem solving and critical thinking skills. Participants build a new project each week.
Each class begins with a teacher-led discussion related to the day’s model. Once the project is completed, children use the rest of their time to expand their gadgets and collaborate with one another.

CURRICULUM/INSTRUCTIONAL CONTENT: Students will work in a lab-type setting using LEGO®
components such as gears, axles and beams. Instructional content is multi-disciplinary and designed
by educators to increase student’s general knowledge and introduce S.T.E.M. (science, technology,
engineering and math) concepts related to the day’s model. Lessons are designed around student’s
interests, with themes like animals, space, transportation and sports. The material covered each
session will vary depending on student ages, experience, and skill level. All materials will be provided.
GOALS: For children to play and socialize with friends while learning fundamentals of engineering
and architecture in a non-competitive setting. To build problem-solving skills, provide an opportunity
for creative expression and foster an appreciation of how things work. To help students understand
that architecture and engineering are viable career choices.
BENEFITS: Kids already know how to build with LEGO® bricks, but with a little coaching they can
learn about engineering, architecture, physics and math using specialized components. When lessons
are related to something kids enjoy, like building with LEGO® bricks, kids are more motivated and
retain more of what they learn. Working with a partner fosters teamwork and cooperation. Completing a new challenge each week builds self-esteem.
DURATION/FREQUENCY/COST: The program runs throughout the school year and follows the school
calendar. Classes meet 1 hour per week for 4 weeks. Each 4 week session is competitively priced at
$50/session/student. Students may join in at the beginning of each session. These sessions are
offered to students grades K - 7th. We can provide scholarships for student with a financial hardship.
Bricks4kidz can also do "lunch and learn" were we demonstrate the benefits of our program to teachers in a relaxed atmosphere. Bricks4kidz would provide lunch so that teachers time is maximized
while discovering how our program can enhance what they are teaching.

Enhancing self esteem in children & young adults through
writing, creativity and public speaking skills.
Our Every Child Has a Story Writing Workshops, intended for students 7 years and older are unique
and custom-tailored depending on the age group and number of participants in which we are working. Through positive thinking and creative expressive methods, we inspire writers of all levels to be
courageous enough to think outside of the box and express their dreams, interests and desires on
paper in ways that are beneficial, elevating, and self-motivating. All workshops are interactive and
stimulating where students are engaged emotionally and physically. All workshops include a generous supply of necessary materials for the writers for use during the workshop and supplies to take
home to continue their creative literary works afterwards. Each student will write a finished book to
include illustrations. The book will be leather bound and presented at the end of the session. We
also offer a Public Speaking program. This program is facilitated by a Competent Communicator
Toastmaster and uses a similar approach. Speakers will follow a planned curriculum in which they
will prepare and present 5 speeches to a group of their peers. The art of public speaking is critical
because it builds confidence and enhances self esteem. Students will not only learn speaking skills
but they will be recognized for their efforts and accomplishments.

Wednesday) during the summer. Sessions run from 11:00am to 2:00pm. There will be two sessions

Education Events
The goal of HCMG is to provide the community of Huntsville and the region of North Alabama with a
season of the highest quality musicianship and introduce young people to the joys of classical music.
To further this goal, Educational Events are conducted in conjunction with each performance by our
artists. These events allow students of all ages to encounter and interact with some of the world’s
greatest musicians in a relaxed setting. During the event the artists will typically give an informal
talk, hold a question and answer session, present a “mini” master class and/or demonstrate their
instrument, often playing excerpts from their coming performance. In recent years we have had
such luminaries of the classical world as Joshua Bell, Marilyn Horne, Yo-Yo Ma, and Emanuel Ax perform and hold educational events. Often our events are followed by a complimentary pizza party.
Admission
Free and open to the public.
The Educational Events are held for students and other music lovers free of charge!
And students who attend the event are offered complimentary tickets (as availability allows) for the
evening’s performance!
