S7930: Modern DNA Sequencing in Splash! 2013 (Nov. 23 - 24, 2013)
How does DNA sequencing work? What can we do with the data? We've been sequencing DNA for decades now, so how have things changed?


S7931: Chemistry of Explosions in Splash! 2013 (Nov. 23 - 24, 2013)
Learn what makes things go bang. Covers low-order explosives such as black powder, as well as primary, secondary, and tertiary high-order explosives such as RDX and TNT. Learn what chemicals go into making explosives and how they are safely manufactured.


S7100: Chemistry of Explosions in Spark! 2013 (Mar. 16, 2013)
Learn what makes things go bang. Covers low-order explosives such as black powder, as well as primary, secondary, and tertiary high-order explosives such as RDX and TNT. Learn what chemicals go into making explosives and how they are safely manufactured.


H7101: How to plan and execute covert operations in deep cover in Spark! 2013 (Mar. 16, 2013)
Learn the essentials of covert operations work. We will analyze the success and failure of many important covert operations in an attempt to discover the elements of a successful covert op. We will study important government-sponsored covert operations as well as terrorist plots and guerilla warfare. By the end of this class, students will be familiar with these operations and the reasons for their success or failure. We cannot legally claim that you will be sufficiently knowledgeable to plan and carry out your own covert operations after this class.


S6662: Chemistry of Explosions in Splash! 2012 (Nov. 17 - 18, 2012)
Learn what makes things go bang. Covers low-order explosives such as black powder, as well as primary, secondary, and tertiary high-order explosives such as RDX and TNT. Learn what chemicals go into making explosives and how they are safely manufactured.

Reverse engineer something awesome!


C5804: Lambda Calculus in Spark! 2012 (Mar. 10, 2012)
Lambda calculus is a primitive mathematical system for describing functions. Concepts from lambda calculus are fundamentals of many modern programming language, and it is used to formally prove particular properties of some algorithms. Note: Lambda calculus has nothing to do with differential calculus. No significant mathematical background is required, other than a familiarity with functions.


S5829: Molecular Gastronomy in Spark! 2012 (Mar. 10, 2012)
om nom nom... with science! We'll use chemicals not normally found in your kitchen to create interesting foodstuffs that defy traditional cuisine.
