    • Data and Chance

    • In Person/On Campus

    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.

    Dig & Discover: From the Archaelogical Excavation to the Museum

    • In Person/On Campus

    The aim of the course is to introduce students to the impressive world of Archeology and Cultural Management. Starting from the process of excavation, students will follow the journey of an object step by step, from the moment it is discovered until its exhibition in the museum. More specifically, students will carry out their own excavation and record, maintain and interpret their findings. Questions such as “What is an excavation?”, “What does an archaeologist do?”, “What follows the discovery of a finding?”, “What is the purpose of a museum and how is a museum exhibition organized?” will be answered through interactive and fun activities.

    Students will have the opportunity to examine significant archaeological treasures, in order to gain a broader knowledge of the history, the everyday life and the artwork of important civilizations of antiquity, such as Egyptian, Greek, Roman art. The young archaeologists will discover the secret treasures of museums and will organize their own museum exhibition. A number of debates and discussions on contemporary issues will take place, such as the return of the Parthenon marbles to Greece, whether the antiquities can be protected during a war, and how museums survive during an economic crisis.

    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 Biomedical Sciences

    • In Person/On Campus

    Which organ has over 400 functions? Are there liquid tissues in the human body? What factors contribute to the development of cancer? Much like Leonardo da Vinci’s fascination with human anatomy, our course delves into these intriguing questions! Drawing upon fundamental biological and chemical concepts, students explore the intricate anatomical and physiological mechanisms that govern normal human function, as an introduction to human biology and the science of medicine. Students learn about the human body’s different systems, including the digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, excretory, nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, highlighting their interconnectedness. Laboratory activities encompass histology, anatomy and physiology (including dissections) and biochemistry techniques. Students also learn practical skills, such as suturing, and dive into group work, solving epidemiology mysteries and investigating the causes and cures for different diseases.
