    • 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
    • Think algorithmically to solve programming problems using conditional, iterative and recursive structures, and other techniques.
    • Compare and contrast procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms
    • Develop collaboration skills in team, project-based learning environments

    Game Design & Coding

    • In Person/On Campus

    Can you imagine a bridge that is not only built, but programmed? Or have you ever wondered how a video game is created?

    In this course, children are introduced to the world of programming and computational thinking through engaging, age-appropriate, and interactive computer-based activities. By using modern visual programming environments, they learn to create their own digital games, design virtual structures, and explore the logic behind smart technologies and basic robotics concepts.

    Through hands-on creation, experimentation, and teamwork, students strengthen essential skills such as logical reasoning, creativity, and problem-solving. They see the direct results of their ideas on the screen, which builds confidence and motivation. No prior experience is required — only curiosity, imagination, and a desire to learn.

    Genetics

    • In Person/On Campus

    Did you know that if one person’s DNA was unraveled and placed end to end, it would stretch to the sun and back at least 60 times? Or that humans and chimps share a surprising 98.8 percent of their DNA? How can we be so similar and yet so different? How does all that relate to having your mother’s eyes, or your father’s nose? Or even your great grandmother’s hair? And how did complex, multicellular organisms evolve from simpler, single-celled ones? We begin with an exploration of Mendelian genetics to determine how simple traits are passed from parents to offspring, delve into more complex concepts such as sex-linked traits and polygenic inheritance, to move towards understanding the genetics of inherited disorders. We will also take a look into the fascinating world of 6 million years of evolution. Furthermore, we learn and practice some of the methods and techniques that geneticists use to explore these concepts, such as PCR, gel electrophoresis, and bacterial transformations. 

    Learning objectives

    • Predict the impact of mutations and the inheritance patterns of different diseases.
    • Utilize biotechnological laboratory skills to determine the genotypes of individuals and explore the process of transformation, a key technique in genetic engineering. 
    • Research and present a genetically inherited disease/syndrome including characteristics such as genetic heterogeneity, penetrance and expressivity.

    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.

    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.

    Mystery Lab: Science Detectives

    Follow the clues. Use science. Solve the mystery.

    An unknown trace, a hidden message, a mysterious sample… and a case waiting to be solved!

    In Mystery Lab: Science Detectives, students become investigators and discover how science can help them unravel a mystery. Through experiments, careful observation, and exciting missions, they collect and analyze evidence, develop and test hypotheses, and combine ideas from biology, chemistry, physics, and logic.

    Can they separate real evidence from misleading clues and solve the case?

    At the Mystery Lab, every clue counts — and asking the right questions might just lead to the truth!
