8 Disney Youth Educational Program Packages Experiences to Engage, Enrich and Excite . Applied Sciences The Evolution Of Technology Grades 6th-12th During this adventure, students will come to understand the broader scope of technology and how innovation is inspired. Attraction experiences help demonstrate the factors that drive technology development and how mankind’s challenges are being aided by these advancements. Energy And Waves Physics Lab Grades 3rd-12th The uniquely themed lands of the Magic Kingdom® Park form the basis of this examination of light and sound energy and its relationship to creating one-of-a-kind Disney experiences. Students engage in discussion and hands-on activities that form the foundation of their exploration of sound and light at work at the Magic Kingdom® Park. Sound is a familiar part of our lives and provides information about the world around us. Guided by a Disney Y.E.S. facilitator, students investigate sound and how it is produced and how it travels. A select attraction showcases how sound can alter our sense of reality and transport us from one world to another, Disney-style! The students’ journey continues into the amazing world of light and a look at the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Refraction, reflection, absorption, and wave components are revealed through study and group discussion. A trip to Liberty Square® provides an illuminating understanding of the power of light in creating some delightfully “haunting” special effects! We put it all together at a select Fantasyland® attraction and discover how Walt Disney Imagineers applied the principles of light and sound to create an immersive story experience. Properties Of Motion Physics Lab Grades 3rd-12th The Magic Kingdom® Park comes alive in a whole new way as students experience firsthand scientific principles at work at select park attractions! The learning experience kicks off with an experiment that establishes the utilization of a creative problem-solving method, commonly referred to as the scientific method, and the introduction to Sir Isaac Newton’s Laws of Motion. This playground for all ages provides an ideal environment for an exploration of inertia and potential and kinetic energy. An activity challenge and a select attraction showcase how these concepts and the laws of physics contribute to the thrill behind today’s “scream” machines. Students unlock the science of creating those exhilarating storytelling moments of a Disney “mountain” through hands-on activities, a final attraction, and discussion where inertia, gravity, and centripetal force take center stage in the program experience Everyday Chemistry Grades 4th-9th The learning adventure begins with an examination of some everyday items and the elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Hands-on activities with molecules and sodium polyacrylate illustrate the role of bonds between atoms and in chemical compounds, further demonstrating that chemistry is the science of change. How Things Move Grades K-2nd Inquisitive young learners investigate the science of motion and the different forms of energy at work on popular Magic Kingdom® Park attractions. With their conclusions, students act as designers to develop an attraction concept and model to test the different forms of motion. Leadership Development Disney Leadership Strategies Grades 9th-12th Participants learn Disney management skills and business strategies for becoming an effective leader. Specially designed activities help students explore effective communication skills and empowerment techniques. Students learn how to inspire team excellence while coming to understand the practical application of these components in everyday life. Managing Your Personal Brand Grades 6th-10th This field study aims to help students become self-aware, self-disciplined and self-motivated to increase their potential for becoming future leaders. Your group will learn that their choices tell their personal story and that they have the power to control their image. They will come to understand how to project a positive image, build their skill set through the collection of experience and apply those skills to leading others. Exploring Careers In The Zoological Sciences Grades 9th-12th Exposure to the variety of careers in the Zoological Sciences serves as a way to inspire students to become actively engaged in the protection and preservation of wildlife and wild places. Students experience an insider’s view of the innovative ways that Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park is providing excellence in animal care while addressing the conservation challenges facing many animals today. Students investigate the different roles that are required to care for the animals within the park, learn about the responsibilities of those roles, and discover the value of those roles as well as their individual contributions to the overall operation of the park. Exploring Careers In The Marine Sciences Grades 8th-12th Discover how Disney scientists maintain the environment and inhabitants of the 5.7 gallon aquarium at the center of The Seas with Nemo & Friends. Students will learn all about the education and training required for professional careers in the marine sciences while getting an up-close look into the responsibilities of studying and caring for aquatic animals. Students will complete their experience by discovering the many unique opportunities available to them, such as the professional internship program at The Seas with Nemo & Friends. www.AcademicTravel.com
