Schedule: Summer 2025
Friday, 5-7pm and Saturday, 4-6pm
Each course runs as a series of eight sessions twice a week, thoughtfully designed to balance exploration, hands-on creativity, and meaningful reflection. Classes are 120 minutes long, with the first half dedicated to guided discovery and discussion, and the second half focused on imaginative, student-led projects. Whether your child is painting like Monet, charting constellations, or sketching ancient wonders, every session is built to inspire curiosity, confidence, and joy in the learning process.
June: Artificial Intelligence
This 8-class AI course introduces students to the evolution, mechanics, and real-world impact of artificial intelligence. We begin by exploring the history of AI and the visionaries who shaped it—from early pioneers like Alan Turing to present-day innovators such as Sam Altman—and examine how decades of experimentation led to today’s breakthroughs. Students will learn how AI systems recognize patterns, generate language, create images, compose music, and produce video, while gaining hands-on experience with cutting-edge tools used across industries. Throughout the course, they will not only use AI for their creations, but also analyze its strengths, limitations, and influence on creativity, media, and society.
July: Geopolitics
In this 8-week geopolitics course, students will explore some of the world’s most important global rivalries — from India vs Pakistan and Russia vs Ukraine to the United States vs China and Israel vs Palestine — while learning how geography, history, religion, resources, technology, and trade shape international conflict. Through maps, simulations, strategy games, negotiations, and case studies, students will investigate why nations compete, how borders are formed, why wars begin, and what makes peace so difficult. Students will also explore the powerful geopolitical idea that “geography is destiny,” discovering how mountains, rivers, oceans, resources, and strategic locations have shaped the rise, fears, ambitions, and decisions of nations throughout history and into the present day.
