    What is 3D printing? What are the principles and main applications of this amazing technology?

    Learn more about a trend that is increasingly influencing large parts of the global material innovation industry and product fabrication.

    Imagine, Design, Create!

    This online course offers the opportunity to discover the innovative uses of 3D printing and to understand the evolution of this fast-growing field.

    Using new design and production technologies (CAD & CAM), you will be learning how to digitally shape your ideas in 3D and how to apply 3D printing technology. In other words, you will learn how to manage a complete design and printing system that requires great care and attention in combining different  factors that need to work together in a harmonized way

    Adventures in Science and Engineering

    In this dynamic and interactive course, students embark on an exciting journey to explore the fascinating worlds of Science and Engineering. Through a combined approach involving engaging discussions, hands-on experiments, and creative projects, students will develop a deep understanding of fundamental scientific principles and engineering concepts and how they contribute to solving real-world problems and improving our everyday lives.


    They will discover the scientific method and engineering design process, gaining valuable skills in critical thinking, problem solving and collaboration during experimentation. From exploring the density of materials to constructing their own electrical circuits, students will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a series of entertaining and interactive experiments and projects.They will build aluminum foil boats to explore buoyancy,  construct various motorized vehicles, design small gliders to investigate aerodynamics, and explore the fascinating world of stating electricity. Throughout the course, emphasis will be placed on promoting creativity, curiosity, and collaboration, as students discover the wonders of science and engineering and develop a sense of excitement for the endless possibilities that lie ahead.


    Learning Objectives:

    • Describe the scientific method and the engineering design process and explain how they are used to solve problems and develop solutions.
    • Understand the fundamental principles of density, buoyancy, dynamics, energy, work, electricity, power and motion including Newton’s laws and their application in engineering projects.
    • Design and conduct experiments to investigate scientific phenomena and engineering concepts and analyze experimental data to draw conclusions based on evidence and observations.
    • Construct and test creative and innovative models, prototypes, and devices to solve engineering challenges such as mousetrap cars, bridges, towers, hydraulic cranes and many more.
    • Effective collaboration with peers to communicate scientific ideas and engineering solutions clearly and effectively through written and oral presentations.

    Ancient Architecture & Hidden Math

    When was mathematical thinking born? What knowledge did architects have 4 thousand years ago? How were the pyramids built? What is the “golden” ratio? Are there perfect numbers? Where is Math hiding in the Parthenon? Why is the seating area in ancient Greek theaters in a circular shape?

    In this course, we will analyze the use of Mathematics in Architecture over the centuries and its use by different cultures. Starting from the beginning of counting and geometry, we will discover how the ancient architects used their mathematical knowledge in each period. We will travel to Ancient Egypt, learn about the cultural development of the Sumerians and the Babylonians of Mesopotamia and discover the great contribution of Greek mathematics in Ancient Greece.

    Students will have the opportunity to learn about monumental construction achievements of the ancient civilizations and the application of mathematics in them, to find hidden “golden” numbers, to create their own constructions and to discover how mathematics are manifested in the impressive constructions of the Egyptians, the Mesopotamians and the Ancient Greeks.

    Data and Chance

    You meet a new friend at CTY who teaches you a dice game. The rules are simple: if you roll a 4, you win and the game ends. If your friend rolls a 5, she wins and the game ends. You take turns rolling until one person wins. If you roll first, what is the probability that you will win the game? There are several ways to solve this problem, and the answer is not obvious.

    In this course, students develop a greater understanding of probability and statistics, two areas of mathematics that easily transfer from the classroom to the real world. Students conduct experiments and generate data which they display in graphs, charts, and tables in order to compare the effects of particular variables. For example, students might analyze data to examine how various design characteristics of a paper airplane, such as weight or length, affect the distance it will travel. In addition, students consider other data sources, including newspapers and journals, and identify examples of incorrectly gathered or misrepresented data that have been used to mislead consumers or influence voters.

    Students also explore probability, the study of chance, to learn how to use numerical data to predict future events. Students examine permutations and combinations; develop strategies for calculating the number of possible outcomes for various events; calculate probabilities of independent, dependent, and compound events; and learn to distinguish between theoretical and experimental probability.

    Fundamentals of Computer Science

    Do computers make mistakes? How does a machine even know what to do? Is Artificial Intelligence really intelligent? This course will guide students through the principles of computer science, exploring the theory and real-world applications of the concepts that govern it. Students will learn about the concepts of algorithms, binary mathematics, Boolean algebra and digital logic, and the theory of computation. They will be introduced to the workings of computer architecture, operating systems, computer networks and embedded systems, and gain insight into the neural networks that power modern AI systems. Throughout the course, the students will have the opportunity to build on their newfound theoretical knowledge through simulations on topics such as Digital Design and Turing Machines, as well as a plethora of hands-on programming challenges, primarily in C++.

    Learning Objectives

    • Gain a broad understanding of how computing and technology are shaping our world.
    • Formulate and implement algorithms in one or more industry-standard programming languages; Investigate code errors, debug and test programs, and evaluate complexity of algorithms
    • Think algorithmically to solve programming problems using conditional, iterative and recursive structures, and other techniques.
    • Compare and contrast procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms
    • Develop collaboration skills in team, project-based learning environments

    Genetics

    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.
