Sherwood STEM/CTE Classes

At Sherwood Tech, we are committed to delivering a best-in-class Career-Tech Education (CTE) and STEM based programs to the students of Sherwood, Oregon.  We are volunteers that care about STEM programs for the kids in our community.   Each year, we offer classes to over 200 kids and donate materials and equipment to the STEM programs in the Sherwood School District.  
​  
At the elementary level, we offer classes in programming, Lego Engineering, Robotics, Micro:bit Programming, and Rocketry.  At the end of each trimester, we hold an All-Sherwood competition for select classes.

​At the middle school level, we offer programming classes using the Micro:bit controller.  This inexpensive device allows kids to learn to program a device that can easily interact with the outside world.  Our goal is to create and environment where kids can challenge themselves to design something amazing!

We are planning on re-starting this program in Winter 2026 with classes for Elementary and Middle Schoolers. The details will be updated on this site over the holiday break and there will be announcements in the Sherwood School newsletters.

Elementary School Activities: Lego Engineering I and II, Lego Robotics I and II, Microbit Introduction
Sherwood offers a series of STEM activities for elementary school students.  We offer classes and organize teams for local STEM-related events.

Elementary School Activity: Rocketry
Introduced in the spring of 2018, we now have a course in Rocketry.  The core goal is to understand more about Aerodynamics, Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Mechanics related to rockets and how to apply the concepts in relation to STEM.

Middle School Activities
At the middle schools, we organize Game Programming teams.  Students will be using Micro:bit boards in conjunction with external sensors and motors and programming them for vehicle competitions.


School Grants
All of your registration fees and donations are used locally in our community. Thanks to a very supportive group of volunteers, we have been able to keep our registration fees low and still help to fund equipment for Sherwood classrooms.  In the past few years, we have provided grants to purchase industrial 3D printers at the high school plus a production-grade laser cutter and UV printer at the middle school.

BBC Micro:bit software programming and mechanical interfaces!  Learn how to program tiny devices using languages like block-based computer programming (Scratch), Python, or Javascript. Control external IO devices such as motors or sensors that are connected to the Micro:bit boards. Finish off by learning to create a handheld video game or building a race car, all controlled by the Micro:bit.
