    • 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.

    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.

    CSI @ CTY

    • In Person/On Campus

    Hey there future, detectives! Are you ready to dive into the exhilarating world of forensics’ science and crack some mind-bending cases? Throughout this interactive course, aspiring young detectives will embark on a journey to understand how chemical analysis plays a crucial role in solving crimes. From analyzing mysterious substances to deciphering hidden clues at crime scenes, you’ll learn the essential skills used by forensic chemists to crack even the toughest cases.

    Fingerprint lifting, blood typing, hair, fiber, soil and food analysis are just some of the criminalistics that will be introduced! You’ll learn everything about fundamental but nifty techniques that help CSI investigators sniff out clues and identify the perpetrator, such as titration, chromatography, spectroscopy, DNA electrophoresis. But wait, there’s more! Did you know that forensic scientists can determine a person’s age by analyzing their bones? You’ll explore the fascinating world of forensic anthropology and learn how to estimate the age and gender of skeletal remains—just like a real-life bone detective.

    Your skills will be put to the test as you tackle thrilling crime scenarios, from mysterious burglaries to dastardly poisonings. You’ll work in teams to collect and analyze evidence, follow leads, and catch the culprit before they strike again!

    So, if you’re ready to unlock the secrets of forensics and become the ultimate crime-solving superstar, join us in “CSI @CTY ” and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime! Because with a little chemistry know-how, anything is possible!

    Learning Objectives:

    • Collect, handle and analyze different types (fingerprints, blood, DNA, fibers, glass, bullets, etc) of evidence
    • Identify, perform and report scientifically, analytical chemistry techniques 
    • Write a forensics report using data to support findings reached after reviewing the available evidence.
    • Understand chemistry topics needed for the proposed forensic skills

    Human Rights and Business Ethics

    • In Person/On Campus

    Do businesses have social responsibility? Understanding the law means understanding your place in the world—this is the core objective of this course.

    European and national legislation shape a model of entrepreneurship that is accountable to employees, citizens and other businesses. Fundamental human rights are safeguarded, ensuring that modern entrepreneurship has a social dimension. How can respect for equality and non-discrimination be ensured in everyday work life? Individual creativity requires a psychologically healthy environment to flourish – and this is a corporate responsibility. 

    Furthermore, through research, oral activities and an interdisciplinary approach, students will explore the legal commitments of businesses concerning environmental protection, consumer rights, and the maintenance of fair competition. Students will also become familiar with patterns of models of ethical and responsible social behavior – even in competitive environments. Developing legal thinking will help students construct and formulate thoughts and ideas, with a sense of responsibility and social awareness.

    Learning objectives

    • Acquisition of diverse knowledge and perspectives through speeches by professionals and academics.
    • Development of soft skills, including oral communication, critical thinking and problem solving, through the organization of a mock trial.
    • Enhancement of creativity, as knowledge is applied in individual and group projects, such as documentaries, posters, online/social media announcements, and article writing.
