State Of The Art Electives

At Colegio Maya, students have the opportunity to take electives that go beyond the core curriculum classes. These classes allow students to pursue particular interests, develop new skills, and build a foundation for their future. Students can choose from a wide variety of subjects, including art, robotics, fashion design, theater production, band, photography, and active for life, among others.

AI, Game, and App Design

In the class, students will learn to analyze the physics of sports using high-tech, data-capturing sensors. Additionally, students will learn the fundamentals of how AI and machine learning work. We will help prepare you for a future where you can use AI effectively, responsibly, and ethically. No computer coding experience is needed.

Fashion Design

The fashion design elective is a hands-on course where students will explore the diverse facets of fashion, from sketching their own designs to selecting fabrics, making patterns, sewing, and bringing their visions to life. What they dream of creating, they will make for the annual CM fashion show through learning new skills and making sure the construction is functional and beautiful.

Structural Design

The elective of Structural Design will provide students with a foundational understanding of how structures are put together. The course emphasizes the historical development of structural form and the evolution of structural design knowledge. Projects can include the design and construction of bridges, earthquake towers, and cranes. This course will focus on the continuation of design thinking using computer-aided design programs and tools, including 3D printing, CNC, laser cutting, and other shop tools.

Studio Art

The studio art elective is a foundational visual arts class that gives artists an opportunity to develop fundamental skills in various 2D and 3D artistic media and processes as well as learn to practice intentional artistic decision-making that communicates meaning through intentional artistic choices. Students will learn critical skills for sophisticated self-directed art-making and more advanced studio classes. Students will keep a sketchbook, document their processes, and regularly write about their work to help explain their artistic thinking and develop their artistic voice.

Performance & Theater Production

This elective is designed to help students gain as much comprehension as possible about putting on a successful production. Students will be researching production techniques and learning how to apply them in a show. Understanding how production jobs affect and help create the performance and how they work together to create a play is the main goal for the course.

Robotics

In the robotics elective, students are involved in designing and developing autonomous machines and researching robotics-related topics. It aims to allow students to continue their growth while developing innovation projects related to their robot design challenge.
