Programming in Java [FOR GRADE 8+]
Overview
Course Outline and Projects
Course Outline and Projects
Phase I of this course introduces students to the basic features of the Java programming language: Java primitive and non-primitive data types, control flow constructs, built-in class libraries, object-oriented programming concepts such as classes, objects, method overloading and encapsulation.
In phase II, we introduce students to intermediate and advanced features of the Java programming language. Students will learn about object-oriented programming concepts such as inheritance, interfaces, abstract classes, abstract methods, and polymorphism; will learn how to write and read Java primitive types to and from files; how to serialize objects, and how to implement graphical user interfaces.
Phase III of this course will prepare students to advance into AP Computer Science. The course emphasis is on procedural abstraction, data abstraction, object-oriented design and programming methodology using the Java programming language, and the use of algorithms and data structures.

Students will be introduced to all kind of robotics systems (Dash, Dot, Boost, WeDo, EV3, VEX IQ and so on). Club Students will learn how to design, program robots using fun, kid-friendly, software while developing mechanical, engineering, and problem-solving skills. They will also explore the exciting world of robotics using a powerful microcomputer brick, digital sensors, and intuitive drag-and-drop programming software modules.
Exploration is an on-going process, and when teamwork is added in the picture, it will help students develop into independent, confident, individuals who believe they have the power to bring concepts and ideas to life. Students will learn how critical thinking and innovation will make them the creators of future. This club will enable them to build structurally, maneuver successfully through challenges, and equip themselves with S.T.E.M. knowledge and skills.
Junior FLL Club (Grades 2 - 4): It’s never too early to discover STEM. FIRST LEGO League Jr. is designed to introduce STEM concepts to kids ages 6 to 10. Students build models using WeDo 2.0 and create Show Me posters to present what they learned. The program focuses on building interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through a real-world challenge – to be solved by research, critical thinking, and imagination.
Wonder League Robotics Club (Grades K-2): Coding is the new team sport for future tech leaders and innovators! Over the next few months, children in teams of up to five, will design real -world science and technology solutions to collaborative problem -solving challenges for Cue, Dash & Dot robots. All club members will be completing 5 missions and submit the same for evaluation. Selected team will go for invitational events.
FLL Club (Grade 4 - 6): Young innovators practice imaginative thinking and teamwork. First Lego League focuses on solving real-world problems such as food safety, recycling, energy, and more using STEM concepts, plus a big dose of fun. With the guidance of two or more coaches, teams apply science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts to solve a real-world problem.
Teams design, build, and program a LEGO MINDSTORMS robot, then compete on a themed table-top playing field. Along their journey, students develop critical-thinking and team-building skills, build STEM self-confidence, and gain valuable perspective on the importance of failure in the learning process.
We organize FLL type scrimmage competitions for individual or teams to participate and compete.
This is a great way to recruit passionate team member for your own team and get ready to form and participate in several local and national level robotics competition
During each session, students will be given a skill level task. They have about 75 minutes to build and program to accomplish this task. On successful completion they will be progressing to next skill level. Kit & Laptop will be provided for in-class use. Students will work as an individual or as a team to complete appropriate level projects and win robotic challenges.
MEET our DIRECTOR
I am so excited about this upcoming school year and about the opportunity to teach for Radiance Learning Academy. My background in education includes 20 years of teaching advanced academics in a full-time classroom capacity here on the eastside of Seattle. I have extensive experience, and an appreciation for, working with the international community and multicultural gifted minds. It is a source of great pride to see the success that my former students have gone on to experience. The 4-year-old mind is capable of much more than people often give them credit for, and it is my belief that together we can accomplish tremendous achievements by having fun while working collaboratively in a 21st century STEM learning environment.
On a more personal level, travel and adventure have driven me to explore Europe, Asia, and most of North America including 49 of our 50 states. Hawaii keeps eluding me somehow, but maybe this year. Cooking and baking are passions for both my wife and I and our two dachshunds keep us plenty busy while outside of school. Other interests of mine include nature, gardening, skateboarding, touring motorcycles, and of course the Seattle Seahawks.
