Have you ever realized how much we communicate through body language? One of the best tools in making your own art is being able to draw the appropriate body language! This will be a fun, easy-going setting, meant for people of all creative inclinations. (Seriously. You can make beautiful drawings with only stick figures if you draw expressive poses! You do not have to be a talented artist by any means, all are welcome!)


Prerequisites
A pencil :)

Human faces often pop up in art, but actually creating something that passes for a face can be very difficult, especially if you're not artistically inclined. Don't let that stop you! Learn easy tips that let you make your own art. You'll surprise yourself at how good you can be when you try! Sometimes, you just need a few quick, easy tricks to solve the problem

Because of the subject matter, this provides a great opportunity to discuss the marvel that is the human face, and all the things it can express!


Prerequisites
none! No artistic talent required! You don't even have to draw if you don't want, you can simply participate in the discussion on the human face and what we can learn from it

In 2007-8, the US financial system melted down and nearly sent the world economy into another Great Depression. How could this happen? Hadn't we learned from the past?

In response, the US government implemented a number of measures, such as the Dodd-Frank regulatory overhaul, to try prevent this happening again. Did they get it right this time? Could we see another meltdown?


Prerequisites
Some understanding of basic economics and US government institutions

"We're all puppets, Laurie. I'm just a puppet who can see the strings," says Dr. Manhattan in the graphic novel The Watchmen. Well, now you can see the strings holding the graphic novel together: time as space, "the gutter," the hyperreal - all of the techniques that graphic artists use that you've never known about until now. From the American Maus and the Watchmen to French bandes dessinees to Japanese manga, we'll see how to better understand and love the graphic novel.


Prerequisites
A desire to learn more about graphic novels! Bring in your favorite book and we'll take a look at it.

Taught by someone who has experienced Japanese Zen meditation in Kyoto and Ishikawa, Japan, and wants to bring some of the peculiarities of the practice to a wider audience, The Joys and Oddities of Meditation will allow students to experiment with meditation styles and learn the various aims of a practice that often gets either a mystical or "mental health-nut" image. The class will be conducted as a combination of experimental theatre workshop and language arts class. We will look at a few texts, write a bit, and, of course, "meditate."


Prerequisites
A genuine curiosity about meditation. Both experienced and inexperienced students welcome.

Did you know that Asian Americans once argued to the Supreme Court that they were white so that they could gain citizenship? The history of Asian Americans is dynamic, expands upon the white-black dichotomy that dominates American racial dialogue, and remains largely unknown by most people. Beyond just the historical aspect of Asian American Studies, we will also examine modern aspects of the Asian American community Examples include the model minority myth, the possible existence of racial quotas at universities, and modern immigration patterns.
Absolutely everyone is welcome! Sociology, law, history, literature, and the arts will all come into play. This multi-disciplinary talk will hopefully augment students' views of the world around them and spark interest in this dynamic field.

We will explore how economics can tease out surprising correlations and causations in our day to day life. We will learn why shopping for jam can be so exhausting, how ice cream stores stay open in the winter, and more. This class will present fun-filled examples along with the science so students come out with a better appreciation of how economics can reveal mysteries in their high school lives and beyond.

You'll get to "hack" different past voting systems and design a way to vote for a high school class government.


Prerequisites
None, but if you're bored by security or American history you might not want to take this course. If you're interested, take it - no background required!

Sometimes we might be able to write down a nice procedure for solving a problem (for example, you may have heard before of the quicksort algorithm to solve the problem of sorting a list), but this procedure happens to fail or do poorly on certain specific inputs. How can we avoid such an issue? One way is to throw randomness into the equation!


Prerequisites
Probability

This course will be a introduction of sorts to Algebraic Number Theory.


Prerequisites
Some previous experience with fields (finite fields) rings, groups, and perhaps ideals. If you don't have all the prereqs you will still learn, but the end of the course will not make any sense.

Everyone's heard the name of the basic conic sections: circle, ellipse, hyperbola, and parabola. But why are they special? Where do they turn up? We'll take a windy path through many different areas of math to investigate them, seeing areas as diverse as the dynamics of a game of billiards to the amazing fact that five points in the plane determine a unique conic section.


Prerequisites
basic high school algebra

We'll talk a little bit about information theory (what is information? how can we measure information?) and then talk about error-correcting codes. We'll have lots of examples and even talk a little about the history of this mathematics.

Want to learn some programming basics? We'll be using Java to walk you through some introductory concepts. We'll also show you how to draw some basic graphics!

When computers malfunction sometimes data gets corrupted. This can show up in images (http://bit.ly/Ze5GnM) and audio (http://bit.ly/WCfHPL). In this class you'll use a picture of your choosing along with free software in order to create your very own glitch art.

Think cd is for playing music? Are your for loops fabulous and your if statements sublime, but you've never heard of ls, pwd, or scp? Come explore the world of programming outside of a Java IDE. We'll cover python scripting, a bit of bash, probably with with web scraping and JSON/API use thrown in.


Prerequisites
AP Computer Science or equivalent

“Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them.” (Mark Haddon, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time)


Primes are very concrete and are the building blocks of the integers, but they are also incredibly complicated, and there is a lot that mathematicians don't know about them. This class won't focus on proving stuff about primes, but will instead be a brief overview of the field. I'll try to give you a sense of the kinds of questions mathematicians ask about primes, what is and isn't known about them, and what we expect to be true and why. First, we'll talk about prime factorization, the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, and generalizations of integers and primes. Then we'll talk about the distribution of the prime numbers and randomness. What's the probability that a randomly chosen integer is prime? What's the probabiity that a random prime is one more than a multiple of 5? Lastly, we'll talk about a few important open problems involving prime numbers, including the Riemann hypothesis, Goldbach's conjecture, and the twin prime conjecture.


Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites, but familiarity with at least some of the following would be useful: logarithms, imaginary numbers, basic probability, modular arithmetic, and infinite sums and products.

Modern video games can create amazingly lifelike characters and worlds. But have you ever wondered how they work behind the scenes? How a bunch of 1s and 0s turn into realistic-looking, even movie-like experiences?

In this class, you'll learn how 3D graphics in video games are generated and rendered. We'll start with 3D modelling and the basic rasterization pipeline, then discuss more advanced topics such as animation, antialiasing, graphics hardware, performance, and physical simulation of fluids, fog, and fire.

What is fusion energy? One of the great challenges of the 21st century will be finding sources of clean and plentiful energy to power our society. By smashing atoms together in the same sort of reactions that power the Sun, fusion power promises energy with no greenhouse gas emissions, that doesn't use large areas of land, doesn't create high levels of radioactive waste, and has enough fuel for tens of thousands of years.

Learn the basics of the science behind nuclear fusion energy and about current research and progress toward a working fusion power plant.


Prerequisites
Be familiar with the components of atoms - protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Neils Bohr once said "Anyone not shocked by quantum mechanics has not yet understood it." Quantum mechanics is one of the most important subjects in physics, yet with its reliance on probability rather than certainty and the presence of oddities like half-alive cats, it is also vastly different from what we see around us every day. In this course, we will learn about how this world of the very, very, very small differs from the one that we know so well, to the point where even taking a measurement can become an ordeal! We will cover some of the major historical experiments and observations in the field, with a focus on the concepts and a minimum of mathematics, to learn why this field is so weird and fascinating.


Prerequisites
Having some familiarity with basic physics will be helpful, but is by no means required.

Nature has evolved organisms and biomolecules that are really, really good at doing some pretty awesome things. There are enzymes that can catalyze reactions hundreds of times faster than man made catalysts and bacteria that can break down the most toxic chemicals. This class will cover how we harness these biomolecules to use in our daily lives.


Prerequisites
A basic understanding of chemistry and biology

Why do we have a brain? And how can we even begin to think about studying it? Are the theories that have been established credible? In about an hour, we'll take a tour of the brain, discussing what we already know about its function, how we've gotten this far, and the work in the field that has yet to be completed.

One major goal of modern neuroscience is to understand how the brain processes information - that is, to discover the algorithms of the mind. In this class, we'll talk about some of the progress that has been made, and how algorithms developed by computer scientists interested in Artificial Intelligence have found an unexpected home in the brain.


Prerequisites
Algebra

Welcome! We'll learn here some basic organic chemistry, including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, cyclo- s, alcohols, amines, and haloalkanes.

Students will learn basic knife skills, different methods of heat application, and the theory behind seasoning and balancing flavors all while cooking a dish from scratch!

Find yourself freezing up in social situations? Consider yourself self-conscious or an introvert? We'll fix that! We'll start with some instruction, then practice our newfound skills. If the weather's nice, we'll have a large practical component.

We'll make play-doh on the stove and play with it while it's still hot. We'll also make goo out of cornstarch and water. And we'll probably talk to each other, because otherwise that would be awkward...

Everyone wants to be a good person, and we all have some elusive idea of what this means. In this short class we'll try to understand what traits good people have, as well as determining things you can do in your own life to become a better person.

Disclaimer: Although I like to think I am a good person, I am not pretentious enough to make this a class about me. Instead, it's a chance to break down what other people think makes someone a good person.

An introduction to Japanese, with examples of grammar points, vocabulary, and phrases from songs in anime.

Apple, HP, Dell, Gateway, Asus, and all the other computer manufacturers have one thing in common: they make A LOT of money from people believing that computers are hard to build. Spoiler alert: they're not.

This class will show you what it takes to build your own desktop computer. Buying components and assembling your own computer enables you to save hundreds of dollars on a basic machine, put together the ultimate gaming rig, or whatever else you want -- the point is that you are empowered to put exactly what you want in your computer.

We'll cover what the components of a computer are (motherboard, processor, graphics card, hard drive, case, etc.), how to compare components and pick out what you want, how they all work together, and what resources you have available to you on your journey.

Rather than asking your parents for a new computer for the holidays/your birthday, ask for funding on building a computer of your own! Take this class if that sounds like a cool plan, or you just want to learn more about what it would take.

An introduction to honey bees and beekeeping taught by members of the Princeton BEE Team.

This class will expose you to the life cycle of a hive, how beekeepers produce honey, and some of the current research on group decision making in honey bee swarms.

Annyeonghaseyo! Eoseo oshipshiyo! We'll learn here about hangul, the Korean script, legendarily known as "so easy a wise man can learn it in an afternoon, and even a fool can learn it in a week". If we have enough time, we might go into some very basic Korean phrases. Please bring pencils/pens and paper with you: you'll get to write, too!


Prerequisites
None

No experience is necessary! If a panda can master kung fu, then so can you :) We'll try to cover a wide range of styles (crane, tiger, monkey, etc.) and techniques (blocking, grappling).
