    • Be a Scientist!

    • In Person/On Campus

    What do paleontologists work on? How do meteorologists predict the weather? How do molecular biologists isolate DNA? In this interactive course, students live and work as different researchers every day and become familiar with the scientific method. Scientific fields such as Astrophysics, Paleontology, Meteorology, Oceanology, Genetics and Health Sciences, as well as environmental concepts such as water and energy resources, are presented in a fun and experiential way.

    The young scientists put on the chemist’s lab coat and perform an electrolysis experiment to harness hydrogen. They construct the human cell with simple materials, isolate DNA, delve into different medical methods, apply water purification technology as environmental engineers, make their own crystals as geologists, and tend their own crops as agronomists.

    They embark through complex engineering concepts by designing and constructing their own pendulum. Through experiments, discussions and group work students gain knowledge of different scientific fields but also a deeper understanding of what it really means to be a scientist.

    Learning Objectives

    • Design and implement an original experiment using all steps of the scientific method.
    • Collect, organize and analyze experimental data and observations and present the results.
    • Select, research and compare three scientific disciplines and describe their similarities and differences.

    Diving into the Deep: The Mysteries of the Oceans

    • In Person/On Campus

    Why is global sea level rising? Why is sea water so salty? How are ocean currents created and how do they affect the climate and weather of the entire planet? Is it true that shells and coral reefs are in danger? How can we clean up an oil spill?

    Let’s become oceanologists for a while and try to answer the above questions.

    Join us, to experiment, discuss and discover all those factors that affect the composition of the oceans, life in them and our entire ecosystem.

    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.

    Foundations of Psychology

    • In Person/On Campus

    Can you measure happiness or anger? How do brain functions, our cognition, the environment and our personality interact to shape who we are? Can you gain all this knowledge in three weeks? Foundations of Psychology gives students the opportunity to establish connections between factors that determine our behavior and wellbeing. Students learn how to conduct research and gather data, in order to measure emotions, behaviors, and cognition. A holistic approach to human behavior is utilized, combining the understanding of how the brain, hormones and genetics influence behaviors, along with the impact of the environment.  Experimentation, hands-on activities and role-play, as well as debates and heated discussions will provide students with a thorough understanding of the foundations of the most important fields of Psychology. The course also focuses on abnormal psychology, one of the areas that most students are especially interested in. Mental health disorders, their symptoms, causes and management are introduced from a critical point of view.

    Learning Objectives 

    • Demonstrate knowledge on research methods and biological psychology, such as brain anatomy, hormone regulation and genetics.
    • Experiment with memory and thinking games, to determine the role of cognition in behavior. 
    • Critically assess the role of the environment on development and wellbeing.
    • Research and review mental health disorders, their causes and management.

    Introduction to Philosophy

    • In Person/On Campus

    From Heraclitus to Lao Tsu, Socrates and Plato to Descartes, Nietzsche and modern thinkers, Philosophy explores the essence of human existence and the possibility of reaching one’s true potential. This exciting course combines ancient Greek – and not only – thinking with the pressing issues of our modern world: education, science, technology and our relationship with ourselves, each other and our environment. Through examining the philosophical masterpieces tradition has handed down to us as well as an approach based on experiential learning techniques, dialogue and creativity. We examine the possibilities inherent in Philosophy in close connection with action and the human being’s ethical dimension.

    In this course, students will have a unique and inspiring opportunity to come in contact with the original philosophical texts and to realize the urgency of the questions which emerge from them: What can we know? How should we act so as to reach our full potential? What is the essence of justice and of human Virtue in general? How does Philosophy relate to science, religion, art, technology and humanity’s journey towards self-knowledge?

    Through team work and cooperation, students gain a strong foundation in philosophical thinking. Questioning and dialogue are highly encouraged as this approach contributes to making students capable of recognizing and analyzing fundamental philosophical issues, as well as developing their own unique strengths in critical thinking.
