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 in portable 41 


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.

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.

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.

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.



Robotics Club
Using the skills developed in the Engineering courses, the Robotics Club competes at First Tech Challenge (FTC) tournaments and creates their own projects such as a mobile T-shirt cannon.
