YCIM: A STEAM App Series

This STEAM App Series combines national education standards with real-world critical thinking to transform top attractions into learning environments.

With the assistance of a technician, students will research the secrets behind the stunts and special effects of WaterWorld®, including discovering the mystery of the seaplane landing, the Mariner Jet Ski entrance & the practical application of the soundboard operations. This tour is excellent for grades 4-12 as students utilize observations, mathematical equations and operations, critical thinking, problem solving and scientific methodologies throughout the lesson. This tour is ideal for students to see practical uses for physics or math in the “real world.”

The Universal Studios Hollywood STEAM App series combines national education standards with real-world critical thinking to transform their top attractions into creative learning environments, with extraordinary educational opportunities in science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics.

Students start their day with a 2-hour educational experience, and by using provided tablets, learn how to bring attractions to life while applying the concepts they are learning in school. All programs meet California State Standards and include a teacher toolkit full of helpful lessons and differentiation. After each program, the students get Express Access for a respective ride, and then spend the rest of the day enjoying the park!

• TRANSFORMERS™ ROLL OUT – SIX DEGREES OF FREEDOM: Students learn about the engineering principles of the Six Degrees of Freedom, to reconstruct the ride vehicle’s motion sequence.
• REVENGE OF THE MUMMY DIG SITE DETECTIVE: Students use the power of scientific observation to draw conclusions from their surroundings, just as real scientists must.
• JURASSIC PALEOBOTANY: Students will participate in a photo scavenger hunt where they compare species of flora while recording their findings just like paleobotanists!
• STUDIO TOUR STRATEGY: Students apply math and logic to design a simulated studio tour while overcoming unexpected challenges and maintaining a high level of guest experience.

Give your students a unique and exciting new way to experience Universal Studios Hollywood!
