Core Learning Pillars
MAGIC focuses on 3 educational pathways. Cybersecurity, Entrepreneurship, and STEM related studies. We have determined that these three foundational paths will help to prepare a students for a bright future in technology.
Cybersecurity
Our cybersecurity tech experience encourages students to strengthen their interest in the cybersecurity industry. Our flagship event, Capture the Flag is a bi-yearly event, offered to beginner level students in April and October.
Entrepreneurship
The STEP Challenge is an exciting, fun, and intense experience where people design, build, and pitch a technology based app solution. These apps may change the world or maybe just change Carroll County.
This annual event happens in February.
STEM
MAGIC provides a wide range of STEM learning experiences using robotics as our foundation. Using robots allows us to provide a wide range of teaching opportunities in the areas of engineering, electronics, and software development. We also work to build soft skills like teamwork, communications, positive attitudes.
