Lab Descriptions:

Game Design

Students learn how to use game development software and tools to design and build two-dimensional computer games. They will explore the basics of game programming, graphics, animation, and sound. Software: Game Maker.

Lemonade Stand - Micro-Business

Students explore the different components that go into creating and running a business through the creation of their own lemonade stand.  From marketing and advertising to pricing and creation of a product, students will get their own week-long adventure in the world of small business.

Mind-Bending Magic: The Science & Art of Optical Illusions

What happens when art and science collide? Pure illusionary magic! Step into a world where your eyes deceive you and your brain struggles to keep up. In Mind-Bending Magic, you’ll explore the fascinating science behind optical illusions and discover how to create your own visual tricks that will amaze friends and family. Through hands-on activities, you’ll uncover how the eyes and brain work together to interpret (and sometimes misinterpret!) the world around us. By the end of the course, you’ll have crafted your very own book of illusions to take home—proof that seeing isn’t always believing!

Mini-Med School

Have you ever wondered how your heart pumps, eyes see, or lungs breathe?  Join us on a journey of discovery as we explore the inner workings of the human body.  This hands-on, laboratory-based experience provides your child an opportunity to: dissect an eyeball, listen to their heart, learn basic first aid, hold a brain, learn CPR, and many more activities that explore the wonders of the human body at CART Mini-Med School.

Robots, Rockets & Airplanes

Future Engineers and Manufacturers wanted.  If you’ve ever thought that you would like to program a robot, build and fly an airplane, or design and launch a rocket, then this is the place for you!  Through hands-on activities, our learners will program a robot to perform tasks all on its own, build and fly a model airplane, and design and launch an air-powered model rocket.  Expect to use trial and error, design principles, and critical thinking to build the path to success!

Come share your CART and Home School spirit with the community, while collecting community service hours! Students will participate by joining CART teachers during one, or both parades on a Saturday in December.

This is an opportunity for CART students to hang out in a non-academic setting. Games will be played, snacks will be provided, and a movie will be shown on the BIG screen in the CART Theater. This is a fun time for CART students and teachers alike.

At the beginning of the fall semester, parents and families are invited and encouraged to visit CART during Back to School Night. This is an opportunity to meet your student’s teachers, visit the lab and to see and hear about the unique teaching and learning opportunities their students will be participating in through the lab.

The CART College and Career Fair provides students with the opportunity to explore a wide range of post-secondary options, including colleges, universities, vocational schools, and career pathways. Students have the opportunity to interact with representatives to help them learn about all of their future options.

The Psychology and Human Behavior and Environmental Science and Field Research Laboratories would like to invite you to the annual research symposium on May 7th.

In the Psychology and Human Behavior Laboratory, our students have engaged in a rigorous research process—from reviewing literatureand designing studies to conducting research and analyzing data. At this event, students will present their findings on individual poster presentations and share their insights with a panel of professionals and community members. This is an excellent opportunity to interact with innovative student research across diverse topics, hear directly from students about their methodologies and discoveries, support and celebrate our students' achievements, and connect with CART’s academic community. The Psychology and Human Behavior Lab students will present their posters from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM.

In the Environmental Science and Field Research Laboratory, students have spent the spring semester working under the guidance of a local professional mentor to complete a research project. Students designed their project, developed a question to investigate, researched, and carried out scientifically relevant protocols to collect and analyze various types of data. We are excited to invite you to listen to students share about their findings from this process. The students in the Environmental Science and Field Research Laboratory will present their posters from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM

During this interactive event, students will share their recent trial roles with visitors followed by a dramatic performance of a criminal trial based on a Shakespeare play. The event will end with visitors acting as our jury to find the accused guilty or not guilty.

CART Showcase is the biggest and most exciting event CART hosts each year.  Both during the day and evening, all CART students display and showcase the knowledge and skills they have learned through their fall semester projects.
