    • 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.

    Introduction to Biomedical Sciences

    • In Person/On Campus

    Which organ has over 400 functions? Are there liquid tissues in the human body? What factors contribute to the development of cancer? Much like Leonardo da Vinci’s fascination with human anatomy, our course delves into these intriguing questions! Drawing upon fundamental biological and chemical concepts, students explore the intricate anatomical and physiological mechanisms that govern normal human function, as an introduction to human biology and the science of medicine. Students learn about the human body’s different systems, including the digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, excretory, nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, highlighting their interconnectedness. Laboratory activities encompass histology, anatomy and physiology (including dissections) and biochemistry techniques. Students also learn practical skills, such as suturing, and dive into group work, solving epidemiology mysteries and investigating the causes and cures for different diseases.

    Learning Objectives

    • Model the interrelatedness of three human body systems working together to maintain homeostasis. 
    • Demonstrate the skills and tools to complete scientific dissections.
    • Select, review and report on a disease or syndrome that impacts one human body system, including its causes, manifestation, symptoms and treatment methods.

    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.

    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.

    The Art & Science of Filmaking

    • In Person/On Campus

    Almost 120 years ago (1896), the first film ever made was presented in a French café impressing the audience. From that time a new art was progressively formed through a variety of artistic movements, trends, and also scientific and technological achievements.

    Film watching has been a favorite habit for billions of people around the world. But, why are so many people engaged by the stories presented on screen? What are the biological and psychological processes activated during film-watching? How have these processes evolved in humans? Do we all “see” the same story on screen? Furthermore, how is cinematic reality constructed? How do images and sounds interact to compose the cinematic world? What is the science behind visual and audio effects?

    These are just some of the concepts to be investigated by the students in this course. As they develop a deep understanding of the principles of cinematic narration, students will also learn various scientific concepts as well as techniques related the film-making and film-watching processes.
