    • 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.

    League of English Superheroes 

    • Online

    Save humanity—join the League of English Superheroes! Just like Superman and Batman, students are called on to complete exciting missions to help protect the world. In this intensive, 10-lesson English course, students work together in a creative learning community and use the world of superheroes to strengthen their English language skills through storytelling, discussion, and hands-on challenges. The course is designed especially for students who want to build confidence and fluency in English, including those preparing for exams.

    Throughout the course, students explore superhero stories using ideas from literature, science, psychology, technology, and social studies. Each “mission” helps students build vocabulary, improve grammar, and develop creativity, critical thinking, and communication skills in English. By reading, watching, discussing, and creating, students learn how English is used to explain ideas, tell stories, and persuade an audience.

    Students practice different types of writing, including stories, descriptions, informational texts, and opinion pieces. Using a variety of materials such as texts, videos, images, and short articles, they analyze superhero worlds and then create their own original characters, settings, and plots. Interactive discussions, debates, and short presentations help students develop spoken fluency and confidence using English in real-world situations.

    Beyond live lessons, students complete guided activities that allow them to apply what they learn in creative and meaningful ways. They may write origin stories, explore ethical dilemmas, design superhero-themed projects, or solve problems connected to their imaginary worlds. By the end of the course, students “graduate” from the League of English Superheroes by creating their own secret superhero identity and taking part in an original final challenge.

    Lessons include interactive instruction, group work, independent tasks, and feedback from the instructor. Cooperative learning and positive peer feedback are key parts of the course, helping students grow as writers, storytellers, and confident English users in a supportive environment.

    Learning Objectives

    • Read, analyze, and discuss superhero fiction and related texts in English.
    • Practice writing narratives, descriptive texts, informational writing, and opinion pieces in English.
    • Use course strategies to create multiple original works of creative writing.
    • Take part in the writing workshop process by planning, drafting, editing, and revising their work.
    • Develop confidence in speaking and presenting ideas in English through discussion and presentations.

    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.

    Our Beautiful Mind

    • In Person/On Campus

    Can cats actually see in the dark? Do snakes really smell with their tongues? What sense is associated most with memory? How do optical illusions “trick” the brain?

    During this course, students discover the 5 senses and explore the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system and the sensory organs. They’ll learn about sensory abilities that humans don’t have, like magnetoreception and sonar navigation, and discuss how the brain’s perception mechanisms turn sensory information into an organism’s experience of its surroundings.

    By employing the scientific method, students work together to answer fascinating questions related to sensation, perception, and the brain.

    Learning objectives:

    • Learn how physical and chemical signals from the environment are translated into neural impulses in the body.
    • Understand the use of models in biology and how these are like and unlike what they represent, and create biological models for the key parts of the sensory systems of the body.
    • Comprehend the journey of information through the body from the sensation of an external stimulus all the way to the perception of it in the brain.
    • Use the scientific method to investigate questions related to the body’s use of the five senses and design an experiment from beginning to end.

    Superhero Academy

    • Online

    Save humanity, join the Superhero Academy!

    Much like Superman and Batman, our Superhero Academy students are called upon to complete missions to help save humanity. In this interdisciplinary course, we will form a literary community and utilize disciplines such as technology, chemistry, psychology, literature, art, engineering, and sociology in the fight against crime, and in an effort to protect civilians against evil super-villains. Each mission will help us develop our vocabulary, creativity, critical thinking, and writing and presentation skills. Then, in order to graduate from CTY Greece’s Superhero Academy, we will create our own secret superhero identity, and engage in an original battle against threats of destruction. Superhuman powers, time traveling, tech novelties, architectural marvels, behaviors, motivations and code of ethics come alive, to form unique characters, extraordinary settings and epic stories! 

    Lessons and one-on-one conferences with the instructor will help students create their own mythological universe and help them grow as writers, inventors, storytellers and communicators. Cooperative learning and constructive criticism are key elements of the course, and detailed responses from your instructor and peers will play an essential role in the students’ growth.
