  • Superhero Academy

    Save humanity, join the Superhero Academy!

    Much like Superman and Batman, our Superhero Academy students are called upon to complete missions to help save humanity. In this interdisciplinary course, we will form a literary community and utilize disciplines such as technology, chemistry, psychology, literature, art, engineering, and sociology in the fight against crime, and in an effort to protect civilians against evil super-villains. Each mission will help us develop our vocabulary, creativity, critical thinking, and writing and presentation skills. Then, in order to graduate from CTY Greece’s Superhero Academy, we will create our own secret superhero identity, and engage in an original battle against threats of destruction. Superhuman powers, time traveling, tech novelties, architectural marvels, behaviors, motivations and code of ethics come alive, to form unique characters, extraordinary settings and epic stories! 

    Lessons and one-on-one conferences with the instructor will help students create their own mythological universe and help them grow as writers, inventors, storytellers and communicators. Cooperative learning and constructive criticism are key elements of the course, and detailed responses from your instructor and peers will play an essential role in the students’ growth. 

    Learning Objectives:

    • Read, analyze, and discuss works of superhero fiction.
    • Practice writing personal narratives, instructional texts, descriptive articles and opinion pieces.
    • Utilize the tools introduced and skills learned in the course to compose four works of creative writing.
    • Engage in the writing workshop process, editing and revising work based on feedback from the instructor and your peers.

    The Author’s Workshop

    Students, within the writing community of their classroom, learn to express themselves freely and to listen to the opinion of others. This writing course helps students sharpen their skills and become creative in reading and writing.  This not only enriches their knowledge of setting the scene, the characters, and the plot, but it also shows them how to use figurative speech and a variety of plot mechanics.

    The Magic of Mathematical Thinking

    Welcome to the enchanting world of mathematical thinking! In this course, yοu will embark on a magical journey where numbers, shapes, and patterns come to life through the power of mathematical thinking.

    Through captivating stories, interactive games, and hands-on activities, you will uncover the beauty and wonder of mathematics. You will learn to see the world through a mathematical lens, discovering the hidden patterns and structures that surround you every day.

    From exploring the symmetry of nature to unraveling the mysteries of prime numbers, you will engage in a variety of activities designed to stimulate their curiosity and creativity. You will develop problem-solving skills as they tackle mathematical puzzles and challenges, learning to approach problems with imagination and ingenuity.

    Join us on this magical adventure where mathematical thinking sparks curiosity, inspires creativity, and opens doors to endless possibilities!

    Learning Objectives:

    • Define and distinguish between inductive, deductive, and abductive reasoning, providing examples of each.
    • Explore and explain the relationship between number patterns and geometry, using both explicit and recursive formulas.
    • Be introduced to symbolic logic by constructing and interpreting truth tables.
    • Solve problems using algebraic, geometric, and symbolic representations and different models.
    • Cultivate skills to enhance cooperation, creativity, critical thinking, flexibility.

    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.

    The Wizards of Writing

    From a lab report to a fairy tale, writing changes form, style and vocabulary.

    In this workshop, students, as readers, will navigate through genres.

    As writers, they will experiment with different writing methods in an attempt to familiarize themselves with both creative and scholarly writing, poetry and narrative techniques which will help them develop their own writing voice.
    They will also ask questions, explore meaningful ways used to bring language to life and practice impromptu speaking and debate.

    In this workshop, students play with language, collaborate, create, present, provide and receive feedback, with the aim of developing critical thinking and creative expression.

    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.
