Curriculum Contents


MIT Biological Gene

About the curriculum:

* The special role of DNA in human bodies.

* Discover the base pairing rule and complete basic DNA replication.

* Decode messages in DNA and RNA

* Compare genes and amino acid sequences

* Damage DNA using free radicals and repair oxidative DNA damage

* Create 4 kinds of mutations: missense, nonsense, silent, and frameshift.

How DNA Damage Causes Mutations?

Our DNA is constantly being damaged by the environment. When damaged DNA is replicated by DNA polymerase, the polymerase often pairs an incorrect nucleotide with the damaged base. The nest time replication takes place; the incorrect nucleotide will cause a change in the DNA sequence, or mutation. This change is permanent.

Why do NASA scientists and astronauts care about DNA?

Space travel exposes astronauts to high levels of DNA damaging radiation. The cells in the body can keep up with this increased damage, repairing the DNA, but only up to a point. When the cells’ DNA repair mechanisms fail, the cells either become cancerous or they commit cell suicide, neither of which is good for human health. Thus NASA is very interested in learning about DNA, and about DNA damage & repair processes to maintain human health. And we all are very interested in keeping our DNA healthy here on earth too!

Understanding Air

A related lesson explains the composition of air and demonstrates how combustion releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, the relationship between CO2 levels and global temperatures, and the health implications of increasing CO2 levels. If you want to provide students with foundational content and an introduction to using LEGO bricks to build molecules, do this lesson first: Understanding Air: Climate Change and Modeling Combustion with LEGO® Bricks Lesson Plan.

MIT Kinetic Sculpture

About the curriculum:

Students are introduced to key concepts and skills of kinetic sculpture, including balance, gearing, energy sources and design-oriented thinking. They will use the work of Alexander Calder, George Rhodes, Dug North and Arthur Ganson as examples of various forms of moving sculpture.

Each day they use the principles they are learning as the basis for their own creations, and at the end of the week they bring together their complete array of new skills to create a large-scale, chain-reaction-type artwork

Alexander Calder

Alexander Calder was an American sculptor known as the originator of the mobile,

Calder’s monumental stationary sculptures are called stabiles. He also produced wire figures, which are like drawings made in space, and notably a miniature circus work that was performed by the artist.

George Rhoads

George Rhoads is a contemporary American painter, sculptor, and origami master. He is best known for his whimsical audio kinetic sculptures in airports, science museums, shopping malls and other public places throughout the world.

Over the last fifty years, Rhoads’ sculptures have been installed in public spaces around the world. Some of his work belongs to permanent museum collections at institutions like the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Art Institute of Chicago.

MIT SeaGlide

About the curriculum:

Do you know what SeaGlide is?

Do you want to build your own SeaGlide?

Do you want to witness your sea glide flying in the sea?

SeaGlide is a miniature autonomous underwater glider, it is a non-tethered, non-ropeller autonomous robot.

The one week SeaGlide program covers the knowledge of bionics, buoyancy, gravity, ocean architecture, dynamics, electrical, programming and operation of the glider.

Students will learn:

* Basic knowledge of electricity

* How to use temperature and pressure sensors to collect data

* How to weld micro circuit board

* How to design, build, and operate an autonomous underwater vehicle.

MIT Nonfiction Reading and Writing

About the curriculum:

Students are engaged and motivated to read for understanding, build content area vocabulary, and develop their writing skills, while conducting an investigation of a particular unit of scientific study. Using a variety of nonfiction reading materials, students will ask questions, employ research skills, take notes, and draw in order to discover the “what, where, why, and how” of their subject area.

Students will then share their findings in ways designed to enhance their communication skills. Through the creation of infographics, informative, descriptive and persuasive writing, learning will be presented with an audience in mind as children become experts in a scientific field. Participating as knowledgeable, reflective, and creative members of a literacy community will enhance cognitive skills used across a variety of disciplines, including, but not limited to science.

MIT Rocketry

About the curriculum:

Using state-of-the-art computer aided design (CAD) software, in this course you will design, build, and launch your own rockets. You will use electronic altimeters and remote airborne cameras to record their flights and then, through analysis and testing, continuously improve the performance of your rockets.

MIT Physics of Photography

About the curriculum:

Has anyone ever told you to think outside the box? In this course, you will be thinking inside and outside the box, as you make your own pinhole cameras out of boxes that take pictures. Add a splash of physics to explain the nature of light, and you have the fundamentals of photography. Develop photos and learn how the chemicals interact with nascent images to bring the photos to life on paper.


Requirements 


* Students should have basic abilities to communicate in English. 

* Students will be assessed on their English fluency and knowledge on music, history and art.

* Students should provide MAP scores or international academic proficiency test reports.
