Then they will use the kid-friendly Stop Motion Studio app to create frames, add sound and produce a final movie. The Science of Flight: In this class, students will explore the science behind flight. By designing and building their own flying structures, students will discover the principles that govern the mechanics of flight. As they conduct their investigations, they will keep a journal outlining their findings from experiments, research and other sources.

Upcycling at its Best: Have you ever wondered how people turn trash into magnificent art pieces or useful products? In this workshop, we will explore different art mediums by converting trash into products of higher quality or greater value than the original materials. Through individual upcycling projects and small-group brainstorming, students will learn to see trash through an entirely different lens.

Culinary Chemistry and Design: In this class on the science of cooking, students will learn that cooking is not just about knowing how to follow a recipe, but ultimately about creative expression.

We will experiment to figure out if the old "taste bud map" is real or a myth, and we will learn about food from different cultures. Using a recipe journal, students will jot down established recipes and their own ideas. On the last day, we will assemble a giant masterpiece using vegetables, fruit and cupcakes. For safety reasons, no open flame will be used in this class. Have you ever wondered how scientists, artists and architects created images before digital cameras existed?

This class will offer a rare hands-on experience with the chemistry of cyanotypes, the very first photographic images. Students will use historic photo processes to create photo paper and negatives, and even to turn a T-shirt into a photographic surface.

We will explore how to use the cyanotype process to produce amazing blue pictures, blueprints and scientific images. Students will also learn about artists using the cyanotype process today. Students will gets to know some of the most bizarre creatures that dwell in the abyss, from the Dumbo octopus to the newly discovered ninja lanternshark. Young explorers will learn firsthand about deep-sea expeditions as they pilot an underwater vehicle using the Scripps Institution of Oceanography DEEP Xbox game. Learning will come to life as each student creates a treasure chest multimedia box to take home.

Students will work together in small groups to create their own vegetable batteries. After learning about how batteries work, students will use hands-on problem-solving techniques to figure out how to assemble components into a working battery and how to measure the voltage created.

This class will introduce students to the study of gems and teach them to identify local and southwestern gems and geodes. We will break open geodes and make art and jewelry using gemstones. We will also look around Mission Bay, a sandy area of former mudflats, for rocks to polish.

Through a variety of hands-on activities, we will discover the importance of rocks and gems in our ecosystem and in history, art and traditions. Engineering, art and nature intersect as students conduct amazing experiments with bubbles and learn how to turn simple bags into pillows and architectural structures! Together we will transform ordinary materials into giant inflatable forts and construct an imaginative public art display.

Introduction to Python Programming: This course introduces students to computer programming using the Python language. For their final project, students will creatively deploy the class materials to develop a simple graphic arcade game. Making of a Super Hero: We will look at heroes in literature, TV shows, graphic novels and movies. Students will design a mural and discover how to use math to perfect the execution of their final project.

They will explore how various paints adhere to different surfaces, and they will become efficient at calculating the needed materials and costs to complete large-scale murals. Together we will investigate obtaining permission and permits for final mural placement. We will also discuss funding and grants, and how to use technology to enhance designs. Students will then work individually or in groups to create sample murals. Mysteries of the Human Genome: Why are your eyes brown and mine green? Why is your hair so curly?

Lunatics, Lovers and Poets: She opens the door wearing a crumpled T-shirt, cycling shorts, slippers in the shape of comic-book gophers which he finds silly, tasteless.

He has given her no warning; she is too surprised to resist the intruder who thrusts himself upon her. Words heavy as clubs thud into the delicate whorl of her ear. He carries her to the bedroom, brushes off the absurd slippers, kisses her feet, astonished by the feeling she evokes.

Something to do with the apparition on the stage: Yet from the quiver of Aphrodite, goddess of the foaming waves, no doubt about that. She does not resist. All she does is avert herself: She lets him lay her out on the bed and undress her: Little shivers of cold run through her; as soon as she is bare, she slips under the quilted counterpane like a mole burrowing, and turns her back on him.
