STEAM
Our STEAM curriculum integrates rigorous coursework in Biomedical Sciences, Engineering, and Studio Art, providing students with hands-on experiences and project-based learning. Whether you’re exploring the principles of human anatomy, building innovative solutions, or expressing creativity through art, our STEAM program equips you with the skills and confidence to thrive in an ever-evolving world. Mooney’s partnerships with industry professionals and real-world challenges make this an exciting pathway for future innovators.
BIOMEDICAL
Biomedical Science applies real-world issues by exploring topics like disease, DNA analysis, medical terminology, microbiology, epidemiology, public health, and more. Along the way, students gain experience with techniques that are used by professionals in hospitals and labs every day. They will also explore the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease working collaboratively to investigate and design innovative solutions for the health challenges of the 21st century.
The following courses will be offered each semester for interested juniors and seniors:
1. Principles of the Biomedical Sciences
2. Microbiology
3. Epidemiology (Semester 1, 2024-2025 school year)
4. Capstone: Biomedical Innovation (Semester 2, 2024-2025 school year)
ENGINEERING
Throughout this program, students will step into the varied roles engineers play in our society, discover new career paths and possibilities, and develop engineering knowledge and skills. In addition, as students work in teams to design and test solutions, they’re empowered to develop in-demand, 21st century skills like collaboration, critical thinking, and communication. Students will need to have at least Algebra 2 to be qualified to participate in the program.
The following courses will be offered each semester for interested juniors and seniors.
1. Engineering Essentials: Exploring Careers
2. Introduction to Engineering Design
3. Engineering 2: Electrical Electronics (Semester 1, 2024-2025 school year)
4. Capstone: Mechanical Engineering (Semester 2, 2024-2025 school year)
STUDIO ART
With an emphasis on studio arts, students explore a wide range of 2D and 3D media, skills and techniques, as related to contemporary and historical art perspectives. Projects may include but not be limited to: drawing, painting, collage, mixed media, photography and sculpture.
The following courses will be offered for the Studio Art Program and are to be taken in order beginning freshman year.
1. Studio Art 1 (Year 1)
2. Studio Art 2 (Year 2)
3. Studio Art 3 (Year 3)
4. Studio Art 4 (AP Visual Art) (Year 4)
