    • International Relations

    • In Person/On Campus

    It’s the late 1800s and you are the leader of a European country: the Austrian Empire or the Kingdom of Prussia (Germany) or smaller but influential countries such as the Kingdom of Two Sicilies or Switzerland. What decisions will you make? This is your reality for the next three weeks, as you undertake the European Leadership Project, a simulation that focuses on Europe and its political, military, economic, and cultural developments from the end of the Napoleonic wars (1815) until the start of World War I (1914).

    As presidents, tsars, popes or dukes, you present your decisions, answer questions posed by your opponents, try to solicit support for your quest and tackle international crises, aiming to win the final vote. Through rigorous research and analysis of your own and your opponents’ decisions, you gain a broad understanding of the study of the origins of modern international politics, emphasizing on significant themes such as foreign policy and the role of great powers, superpowers, ethnic and religious movements and terrorist groups in the arena of international affairs. Among others, you focus on the relationship between constructivism and realism in International Relations, evaluate the importance of good relations between countries with respect to the economy and evaluate why the 1929 Geneva Conference was necessary.

    Learning Objectives

    • Develop cognitive skills such as primary source analysis, logical inferences, and map construction and interpretation.
    • Evaluate, synthesize and analyze key facts and ideas productively, to deepen your understanding of modern reality and the world issues which concern policymakers and citizens today.
    • Discuss and interpret key ideas in International Relations, such as the Security Dilemma, the contribution of nationalism to the rise of imperialism and totalitarian regimes.

    Introduction to Biomedical Sciences

    • In Person/On Campus

    Which organ has over 400 functions? Are there liquid tissues in the human body? What factors contribute to the development of cancer? Much like Leonardo da Vinci’s fascination with human anatomy, our course delves into these intriguing questions! Drawing upon fundamental biological and chemical concepts, students explore the intricate anatomical and physiological mechanisms that govern normal human function, as an introduction to human biology and the science of medicine. Students learn about the human body’s different systems, including the digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, excretory, nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, highlighting their interconnectedness. Laboratory activities encompass histology, anatomy and physiology (including dissections) and biochemistry techniques. Students also learn practical skills, such as suturing, and dive into group work, solving epidemiology mysteries and investigating the causes and cures for different diseases.

    Learning Objectives

    • Model the interrelatedness of three human body systems working together to maintain homeostasis. 
    • Demonstrate the skills and tools to complete scientific dissections.
    • Select, review and report on a disease or syndrome that impacts one human body system, including its causes, manifestation, symptoms and treatment methods.

    Introduction to Java (Greek)

    • Online

    This course introduces students to the Java programming language. It teaches them the basic concepts of computer programming and at the same time it presents to them the core ideas of Object-oriented programming.

    At the end of the course the students should be able to write complete Java programs that distinguish between java primitive and non-primitive data types, to incorporate basic programming constructs, like loops and branches, to understand and put in proper use important object-oriented programming concepts, like classes and objects, and to take advantage of Java built-in methods.

    Students are expected to be familiar with standard computer operations (e.g. login, cut & paste, email attachments, etc.) before enrolling in the course. For 8th grade students, it is recommended to have completed the ‘Introduction to Web Design’ course.

    More than Just a Game… Video Game Design in Unity (English)

    • Online

    This course introduces students to the fundamentals of video game design. Utilizing a project-based approach and the Unity Game Engine it aims to teach the basic theory and concepts of video game design from the perspective of a video game designer. At the same time, students learn the core skills of basic computer programing using the C# language as well as visual scripting.

    Designing video games is not only about programming game mechanics but it is also about creating an entertaining experience for the player. This course introduces the concept and theory of “player centric” game design which includes topics like; the essential elements of a game, the structure of a video game, what the core mechanics of a game are and how they work with the user interface to create gameplay. Along with design elements, student learn the different roles of the design team members in the video game industry.

    The programming language C# is introduced along with visual scripting using Playmaker. By the end of the course, students will be able to create interactivity and game play through scripting, using functions, finite state machines, variables, and if statements.

    By the end of the course students should be able to understand video game design theory. They will utilize this theory and scripting skills to design and create a working prototype game that engages and entertains the player.

    Students are expected to be familiar with standard computer operations (e.g., login, cut & paste, email attachments, compressing files, etc.) before enrolling in the course. It is recommended to have completed the ‘Introduction to Java’ or the ‘Scratch’ course. The course will be conducted in English.

    Pythos: Where Code Bends the World

    • Online

    Pythos: Where Code Bends the World is an immersive course that invites students to master the fundamentals of Python programming within a fantastical universe. Inspired by the beloved saga “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” this unique experience transforms abstract coding concepts into tangible superpowers.

    Students will embark on an epic quest through the four nations of Pythos, where the ability to code is akin to magic. By blending interactive storytelling with hands-on technical challenges, learners will not just study computer science—they will live it.

    The Codebending Path (Learning Objectives): To save the world of Pythos, students must master the elements of Python:

    Earth (Foundations): Build unbreakable code structures by mastering Variables and Data Types (integers, strings, lists), creating the bedrock upon which all programs stand.

    Water (Flow): Learn the art of adaptability using Control Flow (if/else statements) and Loops (for/while), allowing programs to react fluidly to changing conditions.

    Fire (Power): Harness the energy of Functions, creating reusable and powerful blocks of code to execute complex actions with precision and intensity.

    Air (Abstraction): Unlock the freedom of Libraries and Modules, utilizing existing tools to expand creative possibilities and solve algorithmic problems with elegance.

    Through this journey, students will evolve from novices to true Codebenders, developing critical Computational Thinking to debug errors and the Collaborative Spirit to solve real-world problems alongside their team.
