COMPUTER PROGRAMS

Delaware County Military Academy "DCMA" inspires young people to be science and technology leaders and innovators by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering, and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership.

STEM:IT and ROBOT:IT is a digital curriculum designed to supplement and fit into your existing curriculum, with plenty of a la carte options to work into your classroom. Using real-world, topic-driven challenges, students use the design cycle to research a topic, make a plan to complete a challenge, engineer a device or create a presentation that meets the challenge, examine their work to make improvements, and share their ideas.

Students discover the value of collaboration and perseverance. Sharing ideas, building on one another's theories and ideas. Building upon innovation, theories and corporate insight. Students would engage in additional programs after school Robotic and Data Engineering Rotary Clubs.

Our robust computer programs intensifies as students master state-level curriculum and computer programming rigor. Students would connect with certified grade-level instructors during the course of the school-day that specialize in academic rigor across course domains. STEM education programs rely upon student engagement cohorts to gain peer to peer interactions that forge appropriate grade level socialism.

While this exposure to robotics has been eye-opening to some parents of children in standardized school, it is right in line with Century 21 learning. Robotics was identified as a key technology development that would drive technology planning and decision-making in schools in the very near term of one year or less. The report reflects the activity already taking place in many schools — the building of robotics programs and development of curriculum that will prepare students for a future that is increasingly focused on science, technology, math and engineering (STEM)

Robotics programs give students hands-on experience in applying essential Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) concepts to real-world problems.

Middle school students are introduced to procedural thinking, pattern recognition, and algorithm design to come up with a step-by-step strategy for solving a problem.

Students can learn how to program their own robots to move, make noise, light up, and follow other instructions as directed.

Students can program drones to engage in laser battles, use a robotic arm to pick up and put down certain objects or play with magnetic robot blocks to make an endless variety of robots with no programming at all

Students can also participate in the construction and programming of robots designed to compete in the FIRST Tech Challenge, a global robotics competition for grades 6-8.

Artificial Intelligence "AI"

This kind of custom-tailored education could be a machine-assisted solution to helping students at different levels work together in one classroom, with teachers facilitating the learning and offering help and support when needed. Adaptive learning has already had a huge impact on education across the nation (especially through programs like Khan Academy), and as AI advances in the coming decades, adaptive programs like these will likely only improve and expand

Data Mining and Warehousing

Business intelligence (BI) builds upon a set of tools and applications that enable students to manipulate vast amounts of information (Big Data). Education curriculum will give students large volumes of Big Data every semester. There is a strong desire for the use of BI in these schools to improve their thought processes and support decision making.

Python I & II

This course is an introduction to the Python programming language for students without prior programming experience. We cover data types, control flow, object-oriented programming, and graphical user interface-driven applications.

SQL DATBASES

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the language of relational databases: Structured Query Language (SQL). Topics covered include: Entity-Relationship modeling, the Relational Model, the SQL language: data retrieval statements, data manipulation and data definition statements

HTML & CSS Programming

Students will learn how to apply styling to a website through CSS. You'll learn about CSS syntax, selectors, and units. Along the way, you'll also learn about code editors and a browser's Developer Tools. This course introduces students to HTML5, the primary markup language for the World Wide Web and its modern style language, cascading style sheets (CSS). Students learn the language syntax and layouts. This course shows how supporting browsers will render a web page and provides fallback solutions for non-supporting browsers. Students will develop an understanding of media queries and how to create a responsive web design

RUBY ON RAILS

In this course, Ruby on Rails: The Big Picture, you’ll learn how Rails can empower students to build web applications from scratch. A comprehensive web development framework that comes with all you need to develop programming skills.
