  • Sorting:

  • Numbers: Zero to Infinity

    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.

    Scratch Elementary (Greek)

    Teaching basic programming principles such as variables, selection structures, repetition structures, and event handling.

    Scratch is a visual programming language developed at MIT, in order to make it easier to create animations, develop games and other interactive work type projects.

    Through a series of activities and games based on creative thinking, students learn how to apply their mathematical skills and use programming code. At the end of the course, students develop their own video game which will then share with their CTY Greece Online instructor and classmates.

    Prior programming knowledge and skills are not required, though students should be familiar with using an internet browser, and need to have basic computer skills (e.g. cut & past, email attachments, etc.) No book or software purchase is required.

    Taming Randomness

    Chance plays an important part in all aspects of life.

    We take chances every day: will a shot at goal land in the goal or miss? Will we be caught in a sudden shower or not? How long do we need to wait to be served in our favourite burger house?

    Chance or random variation is also a central feature of all working systems: a scientist taking measurements in a lab; a disease spreading through a population; an economist studying price fluctuation. In all these processes some element of chance or randomness are present.  Is it possible to understand and therefore model and analyse such phenomena? If so, what are the tools we need to achieve that? Do we live in a world of randomness, or, as Einstein famously claimed, no one plays dice with the universe?

    During this course, we will attempt to “tame randomness” using mathematics as our compass. 

    Learning objectives:

    • Develop a robust theoretical understanding of the basics of probability theory. 
    • Develop the capability to identify the underlying randomness in real life problems, and decide how to model and quantify it.
    • Gain an in-depth understanding of the basic technical tools needed in applied probability.
    • Make use of random variables and theoretical probability distributions to model simple random processes (Η).

    The Science of Weather

    Do you even wonder what weather is? Do you question the phenomena happening around you? Are you marveled by the idea of exploring the science behind the weather?

    Then, join the Weather Investigators to find out more…

    Did you know that there are different kinds of rain, snow and wind? Did you know that we are experiencing certain weather phenomena in specific parts of the world for a reason? Did you know that the weather map is constantly changing? Have you ever wondered why?

    In this investigative journey students enrich their knowledge on weather phenomena and discover how science and technology help us forecast the weather. At the same time, they become aware of the impact human activity has on the emergence of extreme weather and how extreme weather affects our lives.

    Traveling to the Stars

    This course aims to introduce students to the subject of space and the science of astronomy. Students will travel to our solar system and will learn about the moons of the planets, while at the same time they will be introduced to the myths and legends that accompany them. They will learn about comets and asteroids, they will become familiar with constellations, while practicing their geometry skills by measuring angles, calculating circumferences and areas, and drawing circles. They will learn about the life of astronauts and space missions and will write their own stories about journeys to hidden plans and meetings with mysterious travelers of our solar system.

    Welcome to the Jungle

    Did you know that dragons still live among us? Did you know that bradypods do not only star in children’s films? Join us in an amazing journey through the jungle to meet the wonderful animals that inhabit our planet. We will learn about their characteristics, how they are grouped, which are at risk of becoming extinct and why, and how our world is big enough for all of us!
