We will be using machine learning to train a quadruped robot to walk!


Prerequisites
Experience with text-based programming is required(just basic stuff like being able to use for-loops, if-statements, strings, etc.). Experience with either Arduino or Python(or both!) is preferred, but not necessary. Should also have installed the Arduino IDE and some Python IDE (such as Jupyter Notebook where you are able to read a text file) beforehand, so we could save time.

Brief introduction to greek mythology covering the origin of the universe to the origin stories of the 12 olympians as well as some greek heroes.

Are you interested in programming but have no idea where to start? Join Intro to Programming to gain firsthand experience in learning basic Python command structures and graphics! Learn how to draw Spongebob using code, and write your first program!

(Computers will be provided! Bring your own if you want!)


Prerequisites
None!

Learn the fundamentals of game theory by playing classic games and exploring real-world applications. This interactive class covers decision-making, strategy, and the math behind games. Complex card games, decisions and dilemma games, or even games like rock-paper scissors will serve as the practical application behind game theory.

Are you interested in learning about cancer? And specifically what role sugars play in helping cancer thrive?

This course will begin with a basic introduction to glycobiology - the biology of sugars in the human body - followed by an exploration into how sugars are able to alter the immune system.


Prerequisites
Basic understanding of cells is preferred

Interested in the sort of molecular biology experiments conducted in research and industry settings? This course will begin by giving a quick overview on DNA, RNA, and proteins and proceed to examine the basic theory and method regarding foundational bioanalytical techniques such as PCR, ELISA, gel electrophoresis and the cloning cycle. The course will then explore more technical experiments involving next generation DNA sequencing and common staining procedures performed on clinical samples.

How do we best learn and retain information? What neural mechanisms are at play? What does the literature have to say about our study habits? This course is a (brief) dive into learning, memory, and memorization, and how we can best hack our brains to learn better than before..

Orthopedics isn't all bones and breaks and fractures. There are 206 bones, over 900 ligaments, and 4000 tendons in the human body.

In this class, we will discuss some different specializations of orthopedic medicine as we explore this diverse field. As well, we will discuss the motivations behind some tests you may encounter in the exam room.

One in three students in Baltimore City are either obese or diabetic That's pretty messed up. In this class we'll talk about why there's so much nutrition based chronic illnesses, and we will discuss current strategies to address those problems.


Prerequisites
Know what diabetes or obesity is.

Interstellar, Back to the Future, Loki... Hollywood has us convinced that time travel is possible, but what does physics have to say about this subject? The truth is, the math behind time travel has existed since Einstein.
In this class, we will start with the fundamentals of light, and will cover basic equations of special relativity and the relationship between space and time.


Prerequisites
Fundamental understanding of algebra operations. Experience with matrices preferred, but not required.

Interested in the brain? Nervous system? Neurons?! Join this class and learn all about the fundamentals of neuroscience (there will be candy involved :)


Prerequisites
None :)

This interactive class will explore the physics behind observable physical phenomena. Is cereal magnetic? Why do certain balls bounce when dropped on the ground? How does the traffic light know to change color?

This will be a highly interactive class with tons of opportunities to try out these interesting physics problems! We will use Newton's Laws and some basic physics to explain our demonstrations.


Prerequisites
You will be fine without having much background knowledge! However, a strong mathematics background (up through algebra and geometry) is recommended.

How is the human body able to function and regulate itself to keep you alive? The human body is built of a complex network of organs and systems. In this class we will discuss some basic body systems in detail, as well as learn how these systems interact with each other. Bring your body, as we will use ourselves as demos!

This course will equip students with essential skills for success in personal and professional environments. Students will learn how to present themselves through appropriate dress, body language, and communication methods. Students will also be introduced to professional email writing, interview skills, networking strategies, resume tips, organizational techniques and more. Ideal for students preparing for college, internships, or the workplace.
