  • 3D Printing Wonders!

    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.

    Bioengineering: A Glance at the Future of Medicine

    Research advancements in tissue engineering and drug delivery are revolutionizing medicine. Stem cells, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence and biomaterial research have enabled us to envision methods that may radically change how we treat patients in the future.

    In this course students are introduced to bioengineering, the discipline that applies the engineering principles of design and analysis to biological systems and biomedical technologies.

    Students learn about fundamentals of both biology and engineering, as anatomy and physiology concepts are presented along with the engineering design cycle.  

    Using online virtual labs and applications students learn about fundamentals of biomedicine, the field of bioengineering and novel approaches to medicine. They apply their knowledge working in groups in order to complete the course’s final team project “Rescue Helicopter”, proposing a design for the new Red Cross Helicopter Ambulance, to save people from remote parts of Greece, provide life support and transfer the patients to the nearest hospital.


    Learning objectives

    • Understand the interdisciplinary nature of bioengineering, incorporating principles of biology, engineering, and medicine and its driving innovations, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, stem cells, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and biomaterials.
    • Master fundamental concepts of biology and engineering, including anatomy, physiology, and the engineering design cycle and apply them to solve medical problems effectively.
    • Solve practical scenarios and real-world challenges, through virtual labs and applications, to enhance practical skills and the ability to implement novel approaches to medicine.
    • Develop teamwork and project management skills. 

    Biomedical Sciences: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Human Body

    The journey begins with an introduction to the world of Cell Biology and Microbiology, where students study the structure of cells and the basic categories of pathogenic microorganisms, focusing on the factors that disrupt the homeostasis of our body. The quest for knowledge continues with the organs and the organ systems of the human body. Students explore the complex anatomical and physiological mechanisms that govern the human body, come into contact with and potentially identify important diseases, while exploring the subject matter of basic medical specialties.

    Counting without Counting

    One of the first things we learn in our life is counting. How difficult or easy is it though? How can seemingly complex mathematical concepts be helpful or necessary in order to efficiently count when it is not practically possible to count the objects one by one?

    Discrete Mathematics and especially Combinatorics answer such questions using patterns, colorings, graphs and many other such tools. Some of them, such as the Fibonacci numbers, can be found in nature and art, but strangely also find application in kilometers-miles conversions or express the number of ways someone can climb a ladder going up one or two steps at a time.

    In this course students will explore applications of Combinatorics in other sciences such as Computer Science and Economics, but also come in touch with problems from Mathematical Olympiads and riddles. They will also develop the ability to use abstract ways of thinking in real-life scenarios, and see applications of Discrete Mathematics in problems that scientists are called to solve.
