Robotics and Clever Control Systems
Are robots smarter than humans? Will automated control systems eventually become clever enough to control us? In this course, students embark on a journey into the world of technology, engineering, algorithmic thinking and programming. They learn how to design, build, and program their own robots and clever control systems using LEGO EV3 Mindstorms and Arduino […]
Probability and Game Theory
Game theoryWhat do a prime minister, a general, an athlete, a lawyer, a businessman, a psychologist, a spouse and a biologist have in common? Game Theory deals with the study of the behavior of rational beings (those who decide and act on the basis of their logic and “interest”), in situations where they compete or […]
Principles of Engineering Design
What is the difference between science and engineering? What are the techniques that must be applied for successfully tackling any engineering challenge, from designing and building a bed-side table to conceptualizing and sending a shuttle to space? How can a group of engineers efficiently compartmentalize a multi-system project, allocate tasks and optimize the budget provided […]
Our Beautiful Mind
Can cats actually see in the dark? Do snakes really smell with their tongues? What sense is associated most with memory? How do optical illusions “trick” the brain? During this course, students discover the 5 senses and explore the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system and the sensory organs. They’ll learn about sensory abilities […]
Numbers: Zero to Infinity
How can you calculate the height of my school? How can I design a map? How many ingredients will I need to make cookies for 7 people? Or maybe for 97? How tall is a person that is 5 feet tall? Students explore numbers, from the very small to the unimaginably large, and learn how […]
Nanotechnology: Billionths at Work!
So small yet so powerful … We cannot see it, but it can change our everyday life! “Nano” indicates something small, something minute, about a billion times less than a meter. In these dimensions materials can go ‘crazy’ and display unique, unprecedented properties. How does the size of a material affect its properties? How do […]
More than Just a Game… Video Game Design in Unity (English)
