    • Experimenting with language: A Writer’s Perspective

    • In Person/On Campus

    Pulitzer Prize winning author Junot Diaz once said, “A writer is a writer because, even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any signs of promise, you keep writing anyway.” Students in this course explore the ways in which writers use language to inspire, and make meaning in the world. With the help and support of the instructors, students practice reading with the sharp eye of a writer. As readers, they navigate various pieces of short fiction and poetry while questioning, investigating and employing techniques published writers use to make language come alive. As writers, they work toward developing their literary voices while experimenting with different writing methods and strategies. Students take risks and play with language as they create and share their work, collaborate with one another in writer’s workshops and develop finalized versions of their own, original, writing.

    Learning Objectives

    • Employ literary elements, narrative techniques, and figurative language in both formal and informal writing assignments.
    • Participate in multiple writing workshops that offer constructive criticism on your work in a safe, growth-oriented space.
    • Draft, revise, and undertake other important elements of the writing process in order to produce a minimum of two polished pieces of writing (short fiction and poetry).

    Food Power: Highway to Health

    • In Person/On Campus

    What is kombucha and why is it a point of discussion? Is producing meat on a petri dish a viable option? How would you design a new product and what are its technical specifications? Students are introduced to the magical world of food through a variety of exciting activities and experiments!

    Inspired by Aristotle’s saying, “we are what we eat”, the journey begins by exploring food groups, discovering their impact on both personal well-being and the health of the planet. Equipped with the tools to decipher nutrition labels, students learn to make informed, healthy food decisions and adopt sustainable eating habits. Key issues such as the sourcing of critical raw materials and the development of sustainable food production systems are also examined, promoting a holistic understanding of the role of nutrition for a healthier future.

    Students analyze global trends in nutrition, try fermented foods and alternative protein sources, learn how taste tests are done in modern laboratories and in the industry, and design their own products. Using laboratory experiments and their “detective” skills they detect and isolate microorganisms in food and decide whether it is safe for consumers. Through discussions and experiments, students gain a deep understanding of environmental and social challenges, reflect on the need for sustainable practices and choices in food production, taste foods from around the world, and work as food researchers.

    Learning Objectives

    • Study and thoroughly check food labels and their nutritional information.
    • Practice laboratory techniques used in the field of food and nutrition science and their role in industry.
    • Create scientific posters, develop innovative ideas and design and present new products.
    • Understand scientific terms such as probiotics, gut microbiome, fermented foods.

    FutureCoders: Python Bootcamp – Build, Think, Create

    • In Person/On Campus

    FutureCoders: Python Bootcamp is a dynamic introductory programming course designed for students who want to take their first steps into the world of technology through Python.

    During this interactive weekend program, students will explore the fundamental concepts of programming — including variables, conditionals, loops, and problem-solving logic — through hands-on activities and creative projects. The goal of the program is to foster analytical thinking, creativity, and confidence through the joy of building and creating.

    This course is an accessible and beginner-friendly adaptation of foundational computer science principles, specially designed for students with little or no prior experience. No background knowledge is required — only curiosity and a willingness to create.

    A first step into the world of programming that could be the beginning of something great!

    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.

    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.
