pathways. Robotics incorporates problem- solving, engineering, teamwork, coding, math, and various other skill sets. We are using the VEX IQ robotics kits. Students will complete in a series of lessons to learn VEX IQ programming for the robot tasks. Students develop an interest in improving their knowledge of math and science while integrating technology, problem- solving, reading, writing, and presentation skills. Using analytical thinking, logical reasoning, and teamwork skills, getting a glimpse into future careers become further assets as they hone in on learning. What is it you LOVE to do? That 'thing' you do, when time stands still and before you know it, hours have passed by and, it feels like minutes. Students will have time to learn about finding that 'thing' and have time to work on it. You create your goals and the structure you need to work on your passion. In this elective, students are given guidance and time to see their passions come to life! Designed for students interested in severe weather typical to North Texas and will addresses the differences between a storm spotter and a storm chaser. Five elements of severe weather will be studied, including damaging winds, hail, lightning, flash flooding, and tornadoes. Students will present case studies of tornado events, learn how to identify storms on the radar, utilize the tools that the Storm Prediction Center makes available online, and integrate situational awareness into their daily lives. Join us for a collaborative experience creating the Levine Academy 2020-2021 yearbook! We will be using a digital platform to develop the digital layout and take pictures throughout the school year. Members will have deadlines and assume personal responsibility for sections of the yearbook. Each student will need to bring a charged laptop/ iPad to participate.
Note: Due to COVID-19 Protocols, students will not be traveling to regional competitions.
