This course will cover the foundations of Biology which can be used to prepare for school biology, and also be used as an introduction to competitions such as the USA Biology Olympiad.

This course will introduce students to some of the most commonly seen types of questions found in the USACO Bronze level. We will start out with an introduction to some important data structures that will be utilized throughout the course, before moving onto techniques for solving the main types of problems that may appear. We will be using the Java coding language in this course.

In this computer science class, you will learn techniques and methods that are important to know in order to pass USACO Bronze. We will solve many problems to help you develop intuition for solving USACO-like problems. This class will be taught in Java, and it is recommended to have an IDE such as IntelliJ or Eclipse installed. Note that this class will focus on teaching problem-solving concepts for USACO, not teaching a programming language.

This class is an introduction to the basics of public speaking, LD debate, and impromptu speaking. You will be debating on the political and economic state of the world right now and topics students can relate to. We will teach students how to win arguments with facts and logic.

In this unique 4-session "round table" event, the Kid teach Kid panel will share their individual perspectives on how to develop high leverage Meta Skills that help student stand out in high school. The Learnings from this special session will help the participants maximize their time and efficiency in 4 key areas of high school life.

This course will cover all the key elements in writing an original fiction story. Tailored toward building a longer, more complex creative work, students will learn important concepts from creating realistic, interesting characters to building tension and suspense in a climatic moment.

This course will cover the basics of precalculus— providing students with the necessary skills to advance to calculus. In this class, it is assumed that all students have the prior knowledge of Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II.

In this course we will cover length chasing and areas, Case Work, Algebraic Manipulations, Factorials

In this course, we will cover Auxiliary Constructions, Catalan Numbers, Special Factorizations and Floor and Ceilings

In this class, we will be going over problem solving techniques for four common types of problems that show up on the AMC10, in each of the main four fields of competitive mathematics: Geometry, Combinatorics, Algebra, and Number Theory. We will review instructive problems from various sources during the class, and allow the students to practice what they have learned in the provided problem set.

In this course, we will explore various topics in intermediate mathematics with the aim of equipping students with the theoretical foundation they need to turn a borderline or sub-qualifying AMC 10 score into an Honor Roll or Distinguished Honor Roll score. To do so, we will look at some concepts and questions that have appeared on the more challenging side of AMC contests in an interactive and instructive manner.

In this class, we will be discussing four common and effective strategies that a student will need to succeed on the AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Examination). The classes will be lecture-based, with many practice problems of varying difficulties. For each class there will be a 10 question problem set.

This course is created by the entire 2017 PWMC team, and summarized the knowledge and techniques of all 4 of us about how to perform your best during AMC test day. 

Machine learning is a rapidly growing field with limitless applications. This course is an introduction to the subject, covering basic theory as well as the necessary mathematical tools needed to understand both elementary and higher level ML concepts. In addition, we will be using code to solidify concepts and their applications. The only required tool for this class is a laptop with an internet connection.

In this AP physics class, we will teach you about concepts that will help you advance in AP Physics 1 while also providing a boost to your performance in competitive physics courses. We will start off classes by going over concepts at an AP Physics level, but then we will solve some problems that will help you gain more intuition in competitive physics. It is recommended that you bring a calculator, a notebook (to take notes and solve problems), and a pencil in order for you to get the best learning experience!

COVID-19 has greatly impacted our lives in ways that we would have never imagined. In this course, we will cover the science of public health with a focus on epidemiology—specifically, how diseases like COVID-19 spread in populations. You will learn all about epidemics, diseases, biostatistics, and apply this knowledge to the COVID-19 pandemic. This course will not only teach theory, but there will be interactive workshops where you can step into the shoes of a public health professional! You’ll also learn about how to stay safe during COVID-19, how to crush the Science Olympiad Disease Detectives event, and start your own COVID-19 public health initiative.

Throughout this program, you will learn and experience the mechanisms you can use as a young person to spread public health literacy, including learning the basics of public health through an interactive project. Additionally, you will conduct outreach to local officials to make a positive change in your community. As an ambassador, you will participate in an intensive 4-week program where you will dive deep into the inner workings of educational and health policy and become a grassroots activist for a noble cause.

This course will consist of an overview of the physical and human geography of parts of the world by region, exploring topics such as landforms, climate, and human-environment interaction. The first two units will be introductory, with the rest of the 8 units covering one world region each.
