Robotics
Maria Bina's robotics class is comprised of advanced mathematics students. These students also have a strong interest in robotics. Ms. Maria Bina says, "The goal of this educational program is to give students hands-on experience in learning, practicing, and applying the basics of coding." Maria Bina has a Bachelor of Science in Information System Engineering. Bina says, "I enjoy introducing and applying engineering concepts in the classroom. The students become inventors!" Students in Bina's class build robots by applying the codes they create in class. In a recent project, students were able to work in groups to build their robots, and through trial and error create precise code to develop a functional robot. Future projects include students exploring kinetic energy with movement using variable speed. The students are going to convert the rotation per second into the distance and the distance traveled over time into speed. Bina says, "I believe that technology in education holds an important place in today's modernized tech world."

Culinary
Culinary is a relatively new elective class currently offered to 7th and 8th grade students at HJH. Throughout the course of this class, students will develop leadership, communication, and employability skills in the field of culinary. They will learn about resource management, explore careers in the culinary field, and learn about the importance of health and safety in the culinary environment. Students will receive instruction and learning opportunities in a laboratory (kitchen) setting using hands-on experiences with the appropriate equipment, material, and technology. As they advance, they will also learn more about planning nutritious meals, table-settings and service and etiquette/manners, shopping/budgeting, and more. The second semester of the 8th grade class can also earn students some high school credit and a Safe Staff certification.
