Course Description

Step into the world of Narnia through The Horse and His Boy! In this 4-week interactive STEM and literature class, students will read and discuss key chapters from C.S. Lewis’s classic while completing creative, hands-on design challenges inspired by the story. Each week includes guided discussion, story-based STEM building, and connections to deeper themes like courage, trust, and purpose. Students will brainstorm, plan, and build their own imaginative solutions—just like Shasta and Bree as they journey from Calormen to Narnia. We’ll explore: 🏇 Week 1 – A New Beginning: Discover Shasta’s calling and design a mini travel pack for his adventure. 🏜️ Week 2 – The Great Escape: Build an escape cart or travel device to help Shasta and Bree flee to freedom. 🌀 Week 3 – Run for the Kingdom: Build a marble or ball maze to represent Shasta’s race to warn King Lune—testing speed, angles, and perseverance. 👑 Week 4 – A Prince’s Purpose: Create a Narnian signal tower or light system fit for a royal messenger. By the end of the class, students will not only understand the story’s rich themes but also apply hands-on STEM thinking to explore how courage and creativity go hand in hand. Each build encourages curiosity, reflection, and connection—making Narnia come alive in both mind and imagination.
