Each week, students will take on a variety of creative and critical thinking challenges designed to test their ingenuity and teamwork. Activities will range from survival scenarios—like being lost at sea or stranded on the moon—to Escape Room Challenges that demand riddles, pattern recognition, and collaboration to solve. Students will also dive into design and invention projects, from analyzing failed inventions and brainstorming improvements to creating and marketing their own original products that solve real-world problems. Quick creativity games, like finding alternate uses for everyday objects, will keep them thinking on their toes. Through these diverse challenges, students will sharpen their reasoning, boost their creativity, and practice seeing problems from new perspectives. Every class offers a new opportunity to think differently, invent boldly, and “survive” whatever challenge comes their way!

It's about time (continuation, and open to new students) - W1

$305

with Greg Corona

Calendar Jan 7, 2026 at 9:30 am, runs for 14 weeks

Ages: 13 - 18

Where did everything come from, and how did we get here? In this discussion-based exploration of science and discovery, students will trace the grand story of the universe from the Big Bang to the rise of modern humanity. We’ll explore the fundamental principles that shape existence: relativity, quantum theory, star and planetary formation, geological time, and human evolution. Along the way, we’ll examine how these fields connect; how matter became stars, stars forged the elements, planets formed from cosmic dust, and life emerged and evolved on Earth. Students will also engage with the philosophical and scientific questions that orbit these topics: What does time mean? How do we know what we know? What mysteries still remain at the edge of human understanding? This course invites curiosity and conversation rather than memorization. By the end of the semester, students will understand the science behind the story of everything, and interconnectedness of the cosmos and our place within it.

Rebooting Civilization: The Science of Dr. Stone - W1

$395

with Seema Khan

Calendar Jan 7, 2026 at 9:30 am, runs for 14 weeks

Ages: 10 - 16

What would you do if the entire world turned to stone—and you had to rebuild civilization from scratch? In this hands-on science adventure inspired by the anime Dr. Stone, students will explore the real-world science behind the show’s inventions and discoveries. Each week, we’ll recreate and test scientific breakthroughs from the Stone World, from purifying water and making soap to starting fires to creating circuits and simple machines. Along the way, students will think like scientists, engineers, and innovators as they explore how curiosity and creativity can change the world. Please note: this class is inspired by Dr. Stone and will include short clips and discussion of scenes from the show. Since every family has different guidelines about what their children are allowed to watch, we encourage parents to preview the show beforehand to ensure it’s a good fit for their student.
