The curriculum they study is entirely project-based. Each project starts by reading about what they will do and planning out how to do it. They will make budgets and assign jobs to each student. They will plan the time and materials needed. They will build things that 6 year old boys like to build. They figure out how and where to purchase supplies. They will build various things and then have races if contests using what they have built. If they build an airplane they will try to fly it in the park. Then they build robots and compete with their robot EFTA00736867 against others student's robots. The teacher does not teach them what to do, she simply points them towards materials and makes sure they stay focused. When they are finished, they present what they have done to another group of boys in another city. They compare their results and then criticize, in writing, what the other class has done. They try again and try to improve. They write a newsletter about what they did. Later, they make a movie about what they did. They write the script as soon as they are able to do that. Later, they plan a trip to visit the other groups in Florida or Chicago or wherever they are. They make friends with the other kids in other cities and create Facebook pages about their activities so they can see how they compare to the other group. They teach each other and learn about the place that the others live. Eventually they plan a trip to visit the other kids.
