    • Be a Scientist!

    • In Person/On Campus

    What do paleontologists work on? How do meteorologists predict the weather? How do molecular biologists isolate DNA? In this interactive course, students live and work as different researchers every day and become familiar with the scientific method. Scientific fields such as Astrophysics, Paleontology, Meteorology, Oceanology, Genetics and Health Sciences, as well as environmental concepts such as water and energy resources, are presented in a fun and experiential way.

    The young scientists put on the chemist’s lab coat and perform an electrolysis experiment to harness hydrogen. They construct the human cell with simple materials, isolate DNA, delve into different medical methods, apply water purification technology as environmental engineers, make their own crystals as geologists, and tend their own crops as agronomists.

    They embark through complex engineering concepts by designing and constructing their own pendulum. Through experiments, discussions and group work students gain knowledge of different scientific fields but also a deeper understanding of what it really means to be a scientist.

    Learning Objectives

    • Design and implement an original experiment using all steps of the scientific method.
    • Collect, organize and analyze experimental data and observations and present the results.
    • Select, research and compare three scientific disciplines and describe their similarities and differences.

    Business Economics and Sustainability

    • In Person/On Campus

    This course invites students to familiarize themselves with the basic principles of Microeconomics and discover the close relationship between Microeconomics and Sustainable Development. The purpose of the course is to provide an understanding of economic concepts and theories, while highlighting their practical application in everyday life. The course enables participants to develop their critical thinking skills through the analysis, evaluation and questioning of current practices, and ultimately, proposing applicable solutions, with the principles of Sustainable Development in mind. The main goal of the course is to develop skills that will allow students to appreciate economic issues in their proper context and to address them in a multidimensional, modern way that promotes Sustainability, while highlighting ways of optimal management of our finite economic resources.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Analyze the Impact of Market Structures on Sustainable Practices: Students will evaluate how different market structures (e.g., perfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly) influence the adoption of sustainable practices by firms. This includes understanding how market power and competition affect environmental outcomes and resource allocation.
    • Assess the Role of Government Policies in Promoting Sustainable Economic Behavior: Students will examine various microeconomic policies (e.g., taxes, subsidies, regulations) and their effectiveness in promoting sustainability. They will learn to analyze the economic incentives created by these policies and their impact on both consumer and producer behavior towards sustainable practices.
    • Evaluate the Economic Viability of Sustainable Business Models: Students will explore the economic principles underlying sustainable business models, such as circular economy and green entrepreneurship. They will assess the cost-benefit analysis of sustainable practices and their long-term economic impacts on both businesses and society.

    Cryptology

    • In Person/On Campus

    Cryptology is the study of the codes and ciphers used to create secret writing. In this math course, students begin their journey with an exploration of many early techniques for creating secret writing, such as cipher wheels, the Caesar shift, polyalphabetic substitution, and the Vigenère cipher. They move on to learn about modern techniques including RSA public key cryptography, as students explore how data transmitted by computers can be secured with digital encryption. Discussions about the vulnerabilities of each encryption system enable students to attack and decrypt messages using techniques such as frequency analysis and cribbing. Students apply the concepts learn to encrypt and decrypt their own secret messages.

    Though the course’s central focus is on the mathematics of cryptology, the historical context of cryptography and cryptographic devices is provided to further develop an understanding of this branch of mathematics. For example, students examine the design and fallibility of the Enigma Machine, one of the most important cryptographic devices in history.

    CSI @ CTY

    • In Person/On Campus

    Hey there future, detectives! Are you ready to dive into the exhilarating world of forensics’ science and crack some mind-bending cases? Throughout this interactive course, aspiring young detectives will embark on a journey to understand how chemical analysis plays a crucial role in solving crimes. From analyzing mysterious substances to deciphering hidden clues at crime scenes, you’ll learn the essential skills used by forensic chemists to crack even the toughest cases.

    Fingerprint lifting, blood typing, hair, fiber, soil and food analysis are just some of the criminalistics that will be introduced! You’ll learn everything about fundamental but nifty techniques that help CSI investigators sniff out clues and identify the perpetrator, such as titration, chromatography, spectroscopy, DNA electrophoresis. But wait, there’s more! Did you know that forensic scientists can determine a person’s age by analyzing their bones? You’ll explore the fascinating world of forensic anthropology and learn how to estimate the age and gender of skeletal remains—just like a real-life bone detective.

    Your skills will be put to the test as you tackle thrilling crime scenarios, from mysterious burglaries to dastardly poisonings. You’ll work in teams to collect and analyze evidence, follow leads, and catch the culprit before they strike again!

    So, if you’re ready to unlock the secrets of forensics and become the ultimate crime-solving superstar, join us in “CSI @CTY ” and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime! Because with a little chemistry know-how, anything is possible!

    Learning Objectives:

    • Collect, handle and analyze different types (fingerprints, blood, DNA, fibers, glass, bullets, etc) of evidence
    • Identify, perform and report scientifically, analytical chemistry techniques 
    • Write a forensics report using data to support findings reached after reviewing the available evidence.
    • Understand chemistry topics needed for the proposed forensic skills

    Diving into the Deep: The Mysteries of the Oceans

    • In Person/On Campus

    Why is global sea level rising? Why is sea water so salty? How are ocean currents created and how do they affect the climate and weather of the entire planet? Is it true that shells and coral reefs are in danger? How can we clean up an oil spill?

    Let’s become oceanologists for a while and try to answer the above questions.

    Join us, to experiment, discuss and discover all those factors that affect the composition of the oceans, life in them and our entire ecosystem.

    Experimenting with language: A Writer’s Perspective

    • In Person/On Campus

    Pulitzer Prize winning author Junot Diaz once said, “A writer is a writer because, even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any signs of promise, you keep writing anyway.” Students in this course explore the ways in which writers use language to inspire, and make meaning in the world. With the help and support of the instructors, students practice reading with the sharp eye of a writer. As readers, they navigate various pieces of short fiction and poetry while questioning, investigating and employing techniques published writers use to make language come alive. As writers, they work toward developing their literary voices while experimenting with different writing methods and strategies. Students take risks and play with language as they create and share their work, collaborate with one another in writer’s workshops and develop finalized versions of their own, original, writing.

    Learning Objectives

    • Employ literary elements, narrative techniques, and figurative language in both formal and informal writing assignments.
    • Participate in multiple writing workshops that offer constructive criticism on your work in a safe, growth-oriented space.
    • Draft, revise, and undertake other important elements of the writing process in order to produce a minimum of two polished pieces of writing (short fiction and poetry).
