    • 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.

    Bioengineering: A Glance at the Future of Medicine

    • Online

    Research advancements in tissue engineering and drug delivery are revolutionizing medicine. Stem cells, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence and biomaterial research have enabled us to envision methods that may radically change how we treat patients in the future.

    In this course students are introduced to bioengineering, the discipline that applies the engineering principles of design and analysis to biological systems and biomedical technologies.

    Students learn about fundamentals of both biology and engineering, as anatomy and physiology concepts are presented along with the engineering design cycle.  

    Using online virtual labs and applications students learn about fundamentals of biomedicine, the field of bioengineering and novel approaches to medicine. They apply their knowledge working in groups in order to complete the course’s final team project “Rescue Helicopter”, proposing a design for the new Red Cross Helicopter Ambulance, to save people from remote parts of Greece, provide life support and transfer the patients to the nearest hospital.


    Learning objectives

    • Understand the interdisciplinary nature of bioengineering, incorporating principles of biology, engineering, and medicine and its driving innovations, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, stem cells, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and biomaterials.
    • Master fundamental concepts of biology and engineering, including anatomy, physiology, and the engineering design cycle and apply them to solve medical problems effectively.
    • Solve practical scenarios and real-world challenges, through virtual labs and applications, to enhance practical skills and the ability to implement novel approaches to medicine.
    • Develop teamwork and project management skills.

    Biomedical Sciences: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Human Body

    • Online

    The journey begins with an introduction to the world of Cell Biology and Microbiology, where students study the structure of cells and the basic categories of pathogenic microorganisms, focusing on the factors that disrupt the homeostasis of our body. The quest for knowledge continues with the organs and the organ systems of the human body. Students explore the complex anatomical and physiological mechanisms that govern the human body, come into contact with and potentially identify important diseases, while exploring the subject matter of basic medical specialties.

    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.

    Counting without Counting

    • Online

    One of the first things we learn in our life is counting. How difficult or easy is it though? How can seemingly complex mathematical concepts be helpful or necessary in order to efficiently count when it is not practically possible to count the objects one by one?

    Discrete Mathematics and especially Combinatorics answer such questions using patterns, colorings, graphs and many other such tools. Some of them, such as the Fibonacci numbers, can be found in nature and art, but strangely also find application in kilometers-miles conversions or express the number of ways someone can climb a ladder going up one or two steps at a time.

    In this course students will explore applications of Combinatorics in other sciences such as Computer Science and Economics, but also come in touch with problems from Mathematical Olympiads and riddles. They will also develop the ability to use abstract ways of thinking in real-life scenarios, and see applications of Discrete Mathematics in problems that scientists are called to solve.

    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.
