Do you have a name? That’s all you need to take this class-onym! Join us in a deep, profound, meaningful exploration of the linguistic properties of all kinds of names. Why do we say NASA, but not N-A-S-A? Why are the people of Wisconsin called Wisconsinites? Have these questions answered and more in this -onym expedition!

It's funny how people can win thousands of dollars for knowing random facts...and that can be you (in the future, not during this class unfortunately)! We'll talk about how one can prepare for trivia contests (mainly Jeopardy!) while learning random facts along the way. We'll wrap up with a stimulating round of Jeopardy!!

I invite you to get a taste of digital circuits by learning how to build circuits with an Arduino board, a microcontroller we can code to program what we would like our circuits to do. No experience required, just curiosity! We'll complete a project together in class.
