2D animation is an art form that has mostly left the silver screen, but not our minds nor our TVs! Come along and learn the basic principles of 2D animation in the original pencil and paper style, from the bouncing ball all the way to making a character walk and talk. We will talk about the greats of the medium, the lesser known folks, and what makes it so very special as a form of art and storytelling.

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.
