Have you ever wished you could go back in time? Perhaps you've been told there is no such thing as a time machine, but there is! Historians and archaeologists time travel every day by studying the stories and artifacts left behind by peoplefrom different times and places. In this class, we will use geography, teamwork and a little imagination to design and construct a classroom Time Machine. Then we will use stories and artifacts to discover what it was like to be a child growing up in three very different times and places. First, our classroom time machine will whisk us to the year 150 B.C.E to the lost city of Muziris in southern India, an important center for trade in the ancient world.

Second, we will sail through the fjords of Norway with Vikings in the year 922 C.E. and find out why their boats are shapedlike dragons. Finally, we will travel to the U.S. state of New Mexico to visit Taos Pueblo in the year 1680 C.E. where rebellion against the Spanish conquistadors is brewing! In each place and time we visit, we will focus on exploring the daily lives of the children who lived there. What was important for children to learn, and why? Were there differencesbetween the lives of boys and girls? What kinds of homes did children live in? What did they wear and eat? What did they do for fun? Join us for Time Machine: A New Adventure!

Ancestor Adventure Grades 4 through 6Jul 11, 2016-Jul 22, 2016, 9:00AM-12:00PM

Take a trip in the footsteps of your ancestors as we explore ancestry through this fantastical journey. Create a family tree and then chose a country to Investigate an ancestor’s country of origin. Then pack your bags andplan a trip to visit that country! Experience all of the challenges that comes with planning an international trip.

First you will have to plan the country you want to go to, book your flight, and pack your suitcase. Don’t forget to accountfor all baggage fees and additional charges! This is where budgeting comes in handy. Will you stay at the more economical hostels or spring for a hotel? If you splurge on the hotel in Amsterdam, what sightseeing adventure might you have to forgo? Consider other factors as well: will you be traveling alone or with a friend?

How will the time of year you travel affect your trip planning? Hit up 3 sightseeing destinations in your travels. Decide and calculate time and costs for transportation Learn about the language,and culture of the area. Along your journey you will be gathering information to make the ultimate tour guide to convince others to take the same trip you have! We will finish off the class by viewing other students’ “trips” around the world and sharing our own.

Data is all around us, just waiting to be analyzed in order to better inform the decisions we make, and the policies ourleaders set! From traffic patterns, to weather patterns, to the number of door openings per floor of a building, we will be coming up with interesting datasets to collect and using real tools to analyze this data and produce meaningful results.

Students will leave this course with a more analytical mind, and a knowledge of the tools and methods necessary to change their world.

Applied Data Analytics



Instructor: James Wetzel

Evolutionary Developmental BiologyGrades 9 through 11Jul 17, 2016-Jul 22, 2016

How do embryos develop from single cells into the wide variety of organisms we see either living or in fossilized form? What are the evolutionary consequences of changes in embryonic development? Questions like these are the foundation of the field of evolutionary developmental biology, also known as “evo devo.” The answers lie in where and when certain genes are turned on or off during development. These differences in genetic instructions determine how a human cell knows to take on the characteristics of a human and not a chimp or a mouse or a fly.

In this class, we’ll examine the evolutionary relationships of organisms and how changes to their gene expression can lead to changes in their development. We’ll look at how different kinds of embryos develop, when developing embryos start to look like the organism they will become, and we’ll have the opportunity to examine embryos of organisms like fish and frogs that are often used as model organisms in scientific research. We will also explore how changes in bodystructures can lead to evolutionary advantages for some organisms while becoming disadvantages for others.

Finally, we’ll visit research labs where scientists are currently working on some of these questions, learn about someof the exciting research occurring in the field of evolutionary developmental biology, and see how scientific researchersapproach these evo devo questions in their daily research.

Developmental Psychology



Instructor: Julie Gros-Louis

Generally, when people think about developmental psychology, some basic questions come to mind: when do infantslearn to reach, crawl, and walk? when do children learn their first words? when do children learn to read? These questions, although interesting, all focus on what happens at different ages. But as you will learn in this course, developmental science is not just about children—it’s about how human behavior changes over time. Thus, the main questions developmental scientists ask revolve around the word “how”: how do infants learn to reach? how do children learn theirfirst words? how do children learn to read?

The goal of this course is to give you an appreciation for developmental psychology as a science of change.We will focus on development from birth through adolescence (although development is across the lifespan!). We will cover the main theories that try to explain how a child develops motor, language, and other cognitive skills.We will read a few short supplementary readings, observe videos of developmental milestones, discuss and assess experiments in developmental science.

In-class exercises will give you an appreciation for how science is conducted by stepping back from the “facts” to explore current research methods. Lastly, we will focus on how the research impacts the real world (such as education, parenting recommendations) and how research is communicated to the public.
