    • Mathematical Secrets of Shapes and Colors

    • In Person/On Campus

    Mathematics is everywhere around us—even where we least expect it! In this course, students explore the connection between mathematics and art, discovering how mathematical thinking is reflected in artistic expression across different historical periods. Through the study of colorful paintings by renowned artists and the geometry and aesthetics of ancient Greek pottery, children are introduced to key mathematical concepts in a meaningful and engaging context.

    Students participate in hands-on, creative activities that involve shapes, patterns, symmetry, proportions, and color relationships. They analyze selected works of art to identify the underlying mathematical structures that organize them and then apply these concepts by creating their own artistic compositions.

    The goal of the course is to help students understand that mathematics extends beyond numbers and calculations: it is a creative and culturally rich way of thinking that supports problem-solving, visual literacy, and artistic expression, while fostering an appreciation for beauty, imagination, and cultural heritage.

    Numbers: Zero to Infinity

    • In Person/On Campus

    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 numeric representations help to explain natural phenomena such as time, distance, and temperature.  Moving beyond traditional arithmetic, this course centers on hands-on activities that develop understanding of the scope and scale of numbers.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Explain, classify, and operate on different types of numbers, ranging from very small to very large numbers.
    • Solve problems and justify real-world solutions involving decimals, exponents, negative numbers, proportions, and ratios.
    • Utilize various measurement tools and techniques.
    • Apply strategies of rounding, estimating, and mental calculations to solve real-world problems.
    • Share and articulate ideas and solutions to problems, both written and orally, independently and in groups.

    Principles of Engineering Design

    • In Person/On Campus

    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 to solve a multifaceted constructional problem? This course explores a range of topics from physics and science and bridges the gap between pure theoretical knowledge and its practical application. Through daily doses of lectures, class discussions, problem-solving and plentiful hands-on lab activities, the students will be exposed to an array of concepts, varying from Newtonian dynamics and circuitry to fluid dynamics and thermal physics and through their application, complete engineering tasks of progressively increasing complexity. 

    Learning objectives:

    • Apply concepts from various topics of physics into practical constructional projects with strict requirements, aimed at tackling specific problems of varying complexity and constraints.
    • Train in the engineering design process, practical problem-solving and collaborative teamwork to complete assigned engineering design and production tasks. 
    • Develop and train a variety of technical skills, including detailed technical drawings of projects, precision soldering of electronic components and wood work skills.

    Taming Randomness

    • In Person/On Campus

    Chance plays an important part in all aspects of life.

    We take chances every day: will a shot at goal land in the goal or miss? Will we be caught in a sudden shower or not? How long do we need to wait to be served in our favourite burger house?

    Chance or random variation is also a central feature of all working systems: a scientist taking measurements in a lab; a disease spreading through a population; an economist studying price fluctuation. In all these processes some element of chance or randomness are present.  Is it possible to understand and therefore model and analyse such phenomena? If so, what are the tools we need to achieve that? Do we live in a world of randomness, or, as Einstein famously claimed, no one plays dice with the universe?

    During this course, we will attempt to “tame randomness” using mathematics as our compass. 

    Learning objectives:

    • Develop a robust theoretical understanding of the basics of probability theory. 
    • Develop the capability to identify the underlying randomness in real life problems, and decide how to model and quantify it.
    • Gain an in-depth understanding of the basic technical tools needed in applied probability.
    • Make use of random variables and theoretical probability distributions to model simple random processes (Η).

    Welcome to the Jungle

    • In Person/On Campus

    Did you know that dragons still live among us? Did you know that bradypods do not only star in children’s films? Join us in an amazing journey through the jungle to meet the wonderful animals that inhabit our planet. We will learn about their characteristics, how they are grouped, which are at risk of becoming extinct and why, and how our world is big enough for all of us!
