After this class, you'll be able to read fancy food labels at the grocery store, understand vitamins, and debunk TV ads. Special focus on food categories and the science of chocolate chip cookies :D

Can we use science to make us happy? Reduce stress? Make a good impression with interviewers for college apps? What is love? Why do we love? Why should we love?

Not everything in space is there to look outward. There are actually tons of satellites in orbit whose purpose is to look back on the Earth: observe weather systems, track forest fires, quantify climate change, and so much more. Join us to talk about a variety of topics related to weather, climate, and Earth-observing satellites. We'll talk about rockets, orbital mechanics, communications, cameras and sensors, data processing, weather, hurricanes, climate change, and anything else you're interested in. Come prepared with questions!

A brief introduction to the magic of our atmosphere. The class will explore what drives the weather and explain the causes, impacts, and future of phenomena such as climate change.
