    • 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.

    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).

    Food Power: Highway to Health

    • In Person/On Campus

    What is kombucha and why is it a point of discussion? Is producing meat on a petri dish a viable option? How would you design a new product and what are its technical specifications? Students are introduced to the magical world of food through a variety of exciting activities and experiments!

    Inspired by Aristotle’s saying, “we are what we eat”, the journey begins by exploring food groups, discovering their impact on both personal well-being and the health of the planet. Equipped with the tools to decipher nutrition labels, students learn to make informed, healthy food decisions and adopt sustainable eating habits. Key issues such as the sourcing of critical raw materials and the development of sustainable food production systems are also examined, promoting a holistic understanding of the role of nutrition for a healthier future.

    Students analyze global trends in nutrition, try fermented foods and alternative protein sources, learn how taste tests are done in modern laboratories and in the industry, and design their own products. Using laboratory experiments and their “detective” skills they detect and isolate microorganisms in food and decide whether it is safe for consumers. Through discussions and experiments, students gain a deep understanding of environmental and social challenges, reflect on the need for sustainable practices and choices in food production, taste foods from around the world, and work as food researchers.

    Learning Objectives

    • Study and thoroughly check food labels and their nutritional information.
    • Practice laboratory techniques used in the field of food and nutrition science and their role in industry.
    • Create scientific posters, develop innovative ideas and design and present new products.
    • Understand scientific terms such as probiotics, gut microbiome, fermented foods.

    Foundations of Psychology

    • In Person/On Campus

    Can you measure happiness or anger? How do brain functions, our cognition, the environment and our personality interact to shape who we are? Can you gain all this knowledge in three weeks? Foundations of Psychology gives students the opportunity to establish connections between factors that determine our behavior and wellbeing. Students learn how to conduct research and gather data, in order to measure emotions, behaviors, and cognition. A holistic approach to human behavior is utilized, combining the understanding of how the brain, hormones and genetics influence behaviors, along with the impact of the environment.  Experimentation, hands-on activities and role-play, as well as debates and heated discussions will provide students with a thorough understanding of the foundations of the most important fields of Psychology. The course also focuses on abnormal psychology, one of the areas that most students are especially interested in. Mental health disorders, their symptoms, causes and management are introduced from a critical point of view.

    Learning Objectives 

    • Demonstrate knowledge on research methods and biological psychology, such as brain anatomy, hormone regulation and genetics.
    • Experiment with memory and thinking games, to determine the role of cognition in behavior. 
    • Critically assess the role of the environment on development and wellbeing.
    • Research and review mental health disorders, their causes and management.

    Fundamentals of Computer Science

    • In Person/On Campus

    Do computers make mistakes? How does a machine even know what to do? Is Artificial Intelligence really intelligent? This course will guide students through the principles of computer science, exploring the theory and real-world applications of the concepts that govern it. Students will learn about the concepts of algorithms, binary mathematics, Boolean algebra and digital logic, and the theory of computation. They will be introduced to the workings of computer architecture, operating systems, computer networks and embedded systems, and gain insight into the neural networks that power modern AI systems. Throughout the course, the students will have the opportunity to build on their newfound theoretical knowledge through simulations on topics such as Digital Design and Turing Machines, as well as a plethora of hands-on programming challenges, primarily in C++.

    Learning Objectives

    • Gain a broad understanding of how computing and technology are shaping our world.
    • Formulate and implement algorithms in one or more industry-standard programming languages; Investigate code errors, debug and test programs, and evaluate complexity of algorithms
