    • 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.

    Mystery Lab: Science Detectives

    Follow the clues. Use science. Solve the mystery.

    An unknown trace, a hidden message, a mysterious sample… and a case waiting to be solved!

    In Mystery Lab: Science Detectives, students become investigators and discover how science can help them unravel a mystery. Through experiments, careful observation, and exciting missions, they collect and analyze evidence, develop and test hypotheses, and combine ideas from biology, chemistry, physics, and logic.

    Can they separate real evidence from misleading clues and solve the case?

    At the Mystery Lab, every clue counts — and asking the right questions might just lead to the truth!

    Nanotechnology: Billionths at Work!

    • In Person/On Campus

    So small yet so powerful … We cannot see it, but it can change our everyday life! “Nano” indicates something small, something minute, about a billion times less than a meter. In these dimensions materials can go ‘crazy’ and display unique, unprecedented properties. How does the size of a material affect its properties? How do some plants manage to repel water and clean themselves? How can I make my clothes stain resistant? How does the gecko lizard walk on the ceiling? How can a robot climb onto a glass window? How do all this relate to bio-mimicry and everyday life?

    Nanotechnology is linked to many disciplines, such as physics, biology, chemistry and mathematics, to produce useful applications with innovative properties. Through a series of approaches, including problem-solving, designing and conducting experiments, games, studying natural and artificial nanomaterials, searching for information, modeling, and group activities, students are introduced to the exciting world of science and technology at a nanoscale!

    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.

    Principles of Engineering Design

    • In Person/On Campus

    What is the difference between science and engineering? What are the techniques that must be applied for successfully tackling any engineering challenge, from designing and building a bed-side table to conceptualizing and sending a shuttle to space? How can a group of engineers efficiently compartmentalize a multi-system project, allocate tasks and optimize the budget provided to solve a multifaceted constructional problem? This course explores a range of topics from physics and science and bridges the gap between pure theoretical knowledge and its practical application. Through daily doses of lectures, class discussions, problem-solving and plentiful hands-on lab activities, the students will be exposed to an array of concepts, varying from Newtonian dynamics and circuitry to fluid dynamics and thermal physics and through their application, complete engineering tasks of progressively increasing complexity. 

    Learning objectives:

    • Apply concepts from various topics of physics into practical constructional projects with strict requirements, aimed at tackling specific problems of varying complexity and constraints.
    • Train in the engineering design process, practical problem-solving and collaborative teamwork to complete assigned engineering design and production tasks. 
    • Develop and train a variety of technical skills, including detailed technical drawings of projects, precision soldering of electronic components and wood work skills.
