Guided Learning to Build Independence
A Variety of Experiences Ahead
Due to the nature of our project based format, not every experience is available all the time. Projects are planned based on current family interests and needs, but here are a few focus areas that we always try to support.
Computer Based Design
Brandywine Bridge teaches 3D design with the guidance of a parent who uses 3D printing professionally. Students have the opportunity to create designs, find out what makes a design successful or unsuccessful, and watch their work come to life.
Additional opportunities to do creative work on the computer include graphic design on Inkscape. This powerful tool allows children to explore writing, photography, story telling, journalism, and art in a way that does not rely on other people's templates.
Farm Based Experiences
Our small learning farm provides a myriad of experiences for children to learn and build. Courses include Organic Gardening, Animal Husbandry, Mustang Camp Ground Work, Farm Building, and more.
Handcrafts and Building
It is important for children to see the progression of ideas to realities. Our goal with our skills building courses is to teach children to create value starting from raw materials. Children will participate in planning, finding the correct resources, and executing the plan. Finally, they will experience the satisfaction of having a tangible material that they created.
