Explorations in Physics: Special Relativ
Special Relativity
This course offers an intensive exploration of one of the fundamental principle of physics –relativity. Both Galilean and special relativity are discussed, with an emphasis on the latter. Using algebra and space-time diagrams, students arrive at Lorentz transformations and explore their most significant consequences.
Through examples, exercises, and problems, participants acquire an understanding of one of the most fundamental theories of modern physics. They discover how special relativity changes our conceptions of time and length measurements. We also examine the experimental basis for Einstein’s theory of special relativity and look at how general relativity helps us to understand concepts such as black holes, gravitational waves, and the evolution of the universe. In addition, students take part in developing a computer game simulating relativistic effects of high-speed intergalactic travel.
In the process of exploring these challenging topics, course participants expand their capacity for creative problem solving and their ability to think critically and independently.

Creating Original Theater: Playwriting,
CREATING ORIGINAL THEATER
This course is designed for students with experience in drama who are interested in exploring the intersection between digital technology and theater. We experiment with new forms of digital collaboration to create original cyber-theater experiences. The course emphasizes the working relationship between writers, performers, and directors as collaborators and co-creators of new cyber-theater material.
Workshops and lectures in the first week introduce students to emerging forms of cyber-theater, digital theater, and telematic theater. Students participate in all aspects of exploration and creation of cyber-theater projects as we build our theatrical vocabulary together. In the second and third weeks, students have the option of specializing in one or more areas: writing, performance, or direction. The remainder of the course is given over to the development of short cyber-theater experiences written, performed, and directed by the students under the supervision and guidance of program teachers. Students work in small autonomous groups to create a cyber-theater experience that is presented live before an online audience at the end of the program.
The majority of the course is taught via synchronous online workshops, which are highly interactive. Evolving material is periodically shared with the entire class for feedback and creative input in a constructive and supportive environment. All asynchronous assignments are to be viewed and worked on during our daily workshop time.
This course affords students a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience with an emerging and cutting edge form of theatrical collaboration.

Creating Television: Pitching, Writing,
Students learn how to develop their own TV shows in this hands-on course. The focus is on writing for television, which is at the heart of the creative process, but we also look at the history of the medium, how to pitch a show, and production. Ultimately participants film mini-pilots or key scenes from the shows they have developed.
We begin with a brief history of television in the United States – its creation and how it has grown over the past seven decades. Classic works by influential TV creators are screened, read, and discussed. Various genres of TV are explored, from comedy to drama to sci-fi to unscripted (or “reality”) television, but our primary focus will be on work within the single-camera drama and comedy genres.
While learning about the “TV greats,” students launch into the creation of their own shows, working through a series of exercises individually and in groups, developing and honing their skills in writing and pitching. Since television continues to be primarily a writers’ medium, we focus on character, story, tone, contemporary value, etc. We also cover the creative aspects of TV production, such as directing, camera, production design, costumes, and music.
The final project is a short pilot or key scene that the students pitch then write and create in groups and shoot on their phones and with basic editing software.

Expository Writing Intensive: How to Wri
EXPOSITORY WRITING
Participants learn how to read challenging texts and write about them clearly and coherently, assess and think critically about their own writing, and improve writing skills through in-class exercises, homework, and revisions. Readings for the course are taken from several disciplines, including literature, history, journalism, and social sciences.
This course enables students to identify their strengths and weaknesses in writing and to improve their skills through individual and group work. We read and analyze short essays that exemplify good writing, and we learn how to define a thesis, organize an essay, and incorporate appropriate vocabulary.
Participants are required to read a text and provide a synopsis; they also create a research project to outline and write an abstract. The class uses games as a mode to learn more advanced vocabulary. By the end of the week, students will have become not only better writers but also better and clearer thinkers.

Astronomy and Astrophysics
ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS
This course traces our knowledge of the universe from astronomy’s ancient roots to the modern study of extrasolar planetary systems, cosmology, and black holes. We begin with Newton’s laws of motion and universal gravitation, Kepler’s laws, orbital dynamics, and space travel. Next we take up the nature of light, the structure of matter, the emission and absorption of light by matter, and nuclear physics. We apply this knowledge to describe the properties of our sun and of the planets of our solar system, the properties and fate of stars in general, and the discovery of planets around other stars. Further topics include galaxies and the dark matter and black holes they contain, supernovae and the creation of chemical elements, and the expansion of the universe. We end with Einsteinian cosmology, the cosmic microwave background, dark energy, and the fate of the universe.

Our aim is to explore and create immersive, exciting fiction that incorporates the unreal—from surreal, ghostly short stories to detailed epic fantasy novels. In this three-week elective, we’ll think and write about the futuristic, uncanny, magical, and speculative, and how these elements mesh with our individual writing goals. We’ll analyze published works of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror from a writer’s standpoint: what effect did this have on me, and how did the writer create this effect? What draws us to these genres? How can we create work that is compelling, original, artful, and fun? Through discussion and writing exercises, we’ll focus on topics like Worldbuilding, Hero/Villain relationships, Plot, Magic, and Suspense. Expect light homework, designed to help you dig in to your created worlds, characters, and premises. In the final week, each student will submit 5 pages of original imaginative fiction, which we will workshop as a class.

Understanding the Art: Architecture
WHAT IS ARCHITECTURE?
A two-course curricular option for students wishing to develop their appreciation of art and architecture. Both courses emphasize critical thinking and analysis, skills that will be valuable to students in whatever fields they choose to pursue in college and beyond.
What is Architecture?
An introduction to ways of understanding architecture framed around four topics: Concept, Context, Form, and Materials. Students are challenged to examine and understand the effects of physical environment on human experience, the factors that influence architectural forms, and the role that architecture plays in shaping our behaviors and civic cultures
Participants gain an understanding of architecture through slide presentations, readings, virtual visits to buildings, and discussions around observations and analyses of architecture and public spaces around the world, both iconic and lesser-known. We examine different types of buildings such as museums, churches, libraries, and transportation hubs. While the primary focus is on learning through observation and analysis, students also learn to think and imagine through hands-on, at-home model-making, using materials they should be able to find around their homes.

The Media and Politics in the United Sta
THE MEDIA & POLITICS
This course explores a broad range of questions concerning the relationship between the media and politics, with a focus on historical and contemporary issues presented in the American context: Do the news media educate or manipulate the citizenry? What is the role of the press in a democracy and how does the First Amendment protect the press in the United States? What has the impact been of the new information technologies on the traditional media and on the political role of citizens? Against the backdrop of these questions, we critically assess the political significance of social media and the increasing “weaponization” of information. In particular, we examine the extent to which these new developments limit the ability of citizens to participate meaningfully in society and politics, while at the same time challenging longstanding assumptions about the role of journalism and political communication in America’s system of democratic government.
Students engage with course material through a combination of readings, lectures, daily discussions, films, and guest speakers from the worlds of journalism and politics. Participants also work in small teams to create a hypothetical media proposal for selected candidates running in the 2020 New York City Mayoral Race. This will involve doing research on target constituencies, developing a persuasive message, and designing an effective media plan that matches specific messages to appropriate audiences and platforms.
The central goal of this course is to provide students with a deeper understanding of the factors that characterize effective communication strategies, and to equip them with the tools necessary to be more intelligent, critical consumers of all forms of political communication.

Creative Writing Elective: Exquisite Cor
Writing Elec: Exquisite C
Exquisite Corpse, Poetry:
Exquisite Corpse began as a surrealist parlor game in the early twentieth century. Artists wrote a few lines of poetry on a sheet of paper, folded the page to conceal part of the writing, and then passed it to the next artist, who would continue the poem. The poems that resulted were sometimes nonsensical, sometimes bizarre, and sometimes even brilliant. In this elective, we’ll try this and many other methods of creating poems. We will practice our creative ingenuity through a range of generative exercises, and inspire our writing by reading a diverse selection of poems. As we write and read and experiment, we will strengthen the foundations of our poetry by delving into some of the fundamental elements of craft such as line, image, and form. But even as we hone those foundational skills, we’ll continue to change, to challenge our concept of what poetry is and can be.

Queer Studies
QUEER STUDIES
Without understanding the obstacles and discrimination that a group has faced, on cannot fully appreciate that their demand for equal treatment is in fact a struggle for civil rights. Covering queer U.S. History and Culture from the early 20th Century through the present, this course introduces students to how enforcement of and reaction against institutionalized discrimination have shaped the LGBTQ experience in this country. Students will learn not just about events but often-overlooked people who shaped the course of this history - often heroically. Our study of historical sources will be supplemented by visits from influential and dynamic guest speakers in the arts and humanities. Students will have an opportunity to study our guests' work in advance and discuss it with them when they visit. This course is not restricted to students who identify as LGBTQ - this history is important for everyone, so allies are welcome and encouraged!

Introduction to Architectural Design and
INTRO-ARCH DESIGN & THEOR
This intensive introduction to key concepts in architecture consists of a morning seminar focusing on architectural history and theory and an afternoon “virtual studio” in which students learn through independent design.
In the seminar, participants are familiarized with the fundamental vocabulary employed to describe architectural ideas. The course covers how to analyze a building visually and formally, and introduces a spectrum of significant historical and recent designs while instilling an understanding of how the built environment is generated and transformed. Through discussions of challenging readings that encompass the political, social, technological, and economic aspects of the field, students are introduced to selected architectural themes. Class discussions are supplemented with digital architectural tours of the Columbia University campus and virtual visits to prominent works of modern architecture in New York City such as the Whitney Museum, the High Line Park, Grand Central Station, and the Seagram Building.
The afternoon studio class, conducted online as a creative workshop, introduces participants to the conceptual skills employed by architectural designers. Instructors provide students with basic training in 2D and 3D visualization software and introduce them to the process of conceptualizing and developing architectural ideas. A short project is undertaken in the final week, in which students develop their own designs for an intervention on one of the New York City sites that was visited earlier in the session.

Introduction to Architectural Design and
INTRO-ARCH DESIGN & THEOR
This intensive introduction to key concepts in architecture consists of a morning seminar focusing on architectural history and theory and an afternoon “virtual studio” in which students learn through independent design.
In the seminar, participants are familiarized with the fundamental vocabulary employed to describe architectural ideas. The course covers how to analyze a building visually and formally, and introduces a spectrum of significant historical and recent designs while instilling an understanding of how the built environment is generated and transformed. Through discussions of challenging readings that encompass the political, social, technological, and economic aspects of the field, students are introduced to selected architectural themes. Class discussions are supplemented with digital architectural tours of the Columbia University campus and virtual visits to prominent works of modern architecture in New York City such as the Whitney Museum, the High Line Park, Grand Central Station, and the Seagram Building.
The afternoon studio class, conducted online as a creative workshop, introduces participants to the conceptual skills employed by architectural designers. Instructors provide students with basic training in 2D and 3D visualization software and introduce them to the process of conceptualizing and developing architectural ideas. A short project is undertaken in the final week, in which students develop their own designs for an intervention on one of the New York City sites that was visited earlier in the session.

Introduction to Reproductive Justice
INTRO TO REPRODUCTIVE JUS
This course is about reproductive justice, a movement that centers the experiences and leadership of women of color and their holistic, intersectional visions for total reproductive freedom. Looking at the relationships between reproduction, law, science, and histories of reproductive rights and justice activism, we will explore a variety of literary works, films, journalism, public health studies, and policy/legal texts, all of which differently narrate, debate, script, and theorize about reproduction. Questions we will explore include: what is reproductive justice, and how does it differ from reproductive rights and health? How have long histories of reproductive violence shaped the reproductive justice mission? How do these histories influence the development and distribution of medical/technological/pharmaceutical innovations? How has the reproductive justice mission taken shape in New York City in particular, and what does it look like today? Students will end the course by developing their own reproductive justice project.

Introduction to Marketing Communications
INTRO TO MARKETING
What is marketing communications? Is it buying and selling, advertising and promotion, surveys and telemarketing, or looking at how consumers buy? Do you want the same stuff your friends have; do you want to be part of the “in” crowd; and what do your clothes say about you?
In this course students examine multiple ads and promotional programs, read about how companies try to reach consumers, and discuss consumers’ responses to companies’ programs. They explore how companies advertise and promote their products to the consumer.
We approach these topics through a combination of lectures, case studies, and class discussions. Students are divided into small groups to do hands-on work and present their findings to the class for Q&A. As a final project, they work in teams to create, brand, and develop a comprehensive written marketing and communications plan for a new product, which they also present to the class.

Conflict Resolution: Negotiation, Persua
CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Conflict is a part of life. Most people do not like conflict because they usually do not resolve their conflicts well and so they develop a distaste for it. There are also ways to constructively engage in conflict that lead to better quality outcomes and relationships. In this course, students learn basic concepts about conflict resolution so that they can develop a deeper and broader understanding of conflict dynamics. There are many types of conflicts and in this course the students focus on learning more about their interpersonal conflicts with others. They learn skills so they will be able to more constructively resolve their interpersonal conflicts toward win-win outcomes.
These goals are achieved by students developing more self-awareness as to the types of conflict styles they tend to use as their “default” approach. They become more aware of their “hot buttons” and the types of behaviors and situations that cause them to become embroiled in a conflict situation. In addition to learning more about their own habits, they apply these concepts and skills to better understand others around them. By developing more empathy and understanding of others, students are able to reduce the number, types, and intensity of their interpersonal conflicts.
The course is primarily experiential and interactive so students learn by doing and reinforce their learning through immediate application. There are role-plays, simulations, discussions, presentations, film analyses, and other activities designed to enhance learning of the identified concepts and skills.

Lean in or Dig Deep
LEAN IN OR DIG DEEP
We examine the theory and practice of two “models” of feminist leadership: liberal-individualist and radical-collective. Advocates of both models seek women’s empowerment. However, they disagree over the means and ends of women’s activism. Broadly, liberal feminists seek equal power in political institutions and corporations as well as equal access to the means for social and economic advance. Liberal feminists may pursue “reproductive rights” and consider gender-equality the mark of feminist success. Social justice feminists seek nothing less than the end of sexism and all forms of subjugation (racial, class, sexual orientation ETC.) which sustain existing anti-egalitarian, sexist, racist and hetero-normative structures. Social justice feminists may pursue “reproductive justice” and consider the transformation of existing gender, social and economic relations success.

NY in Art and Film
NY IN ART AND FILM
From its early days as a pre-Hollywood hub of film studios, New York City has played a central role in film in the 20th century, one which corresponds directly to the production of modern art. In this course, comparisons between art-making and film-making will be made, while students will also be introduced to the core literature of modernist writing. Breaking up into four different periods: 1890-The Great Depression, WWII-the early 60's, the 60's and 70's, and finally the post-modern era of art and film, each week will focus on a group of artists or directors (including D.H. Griffith, The Ashcan School, Diego Rivera, Sergei Eisenstein, Joseph Cornell, Andy Warhol, Martin Scorsese, and Julian Schnabel) who explore the intersection of art and film, particularly in New York City.

Urban Studies
URBAN STUDIES
New York City is one of the most diverse and unequal cities in the United States. To grasp fully these critical dimensions of the City’s population and their relationship, students will explore empirically the neighborhoods of Upper Manhattan (from 59th St. to the northern tip of the island). Our approach will be two-fold. First, using the rich quantitative evidence and mapping tools in several data portals (both proprietary and open source) and the powerful data management tools in Excel, students will compile “data portraits” of each neighborhood in the region. Then, using Excel, students will learn basic descriptive and inferential statistics and apply these methods to characterize neighborhoods along the diversity-inequality axes. In the course capstone project, they will combine their data analysis with their annotated visual impressions of each neighborhood into a digital portfolio which they will present to the class. By the end of the course students will have not only have deepened their understanding of the city (and perhaps their own neighborhoods), but will also have acquired an intermediate level proficiency in Excel, learned the rudiments of data management and descriptive and inferential statistics, and a variety of quantitative and qualitative social science approaches to urban studies.

Entrepreneurship & Innovation: New Produ
NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT - LEC
In this course students learn the fundamentals of developing, iterating on, and improving core new business concept ideas. Further, they learn how to estimate sales and potential profitability, mainly through the application of the Booze Allen Sales Estimating System (BASES), the most universal new products and service sales forecasting system globally. Students work in groups to develop new products and marketing plans for those products.
With the help of the Columbia Business School librarian and access to the University’s databases, students learn to quantify the sizes of the target audiences for their new business ideas and find data to support the trends, industry size, and growth, as well as key market segments for the categories they will be entering. Students learn the types of assumptions needed to forecast sales and profitability. They develop and field marketing research questionnaires and interpret the result to improve their new product and service ideas. They also learn the fundamentals of developing launch marketing plans to achieve trial and awareness for the new business introductions.
Participants apply these concepts to Harvard case studies that deal with positioning new products and services amongst competitors, developing launch marketing plans, and adapting new products and services around the world based on local market assessments about category differences, local customs and cultures, values, distribution channels, and intermediaries.
Final in-class presentations allow students to see the course concepts applied to one another’s ideas and industries. The presentations also provide a sense of what venture capitalists and senior management in corporations look for in deciding whether to green light a new product or service for market introduction. The presentations bring the course material together to provide a holistic, real-world view of how the new product and services process works.

CHG THE WRLD VIA VENTUR C
Intended for students interested in creating new business ventures or social enterprises, this hands-on course focuses on the creation, evaluation, development, and launch-readiness of new business or social ventures. Participants are guided through the new venture creation process as applied to student team-selected venture ideas. Through interactive lectures, short case studies, and structured peer activities, students explore the elements of the new venture planning process in an innovative modular format. For each student venture, key issues are addressed in a fashion highly consistent with other formal venture-planning processes including business model development, customer discovery, product-market validation, in-depth industry and market analysis, product or service innovation, brand development and go-to-market strategies, team selection and management, profit models, financing, and legal considerations.
Students work through a series of structured activities and assignments that correspond with each phase of new venture planning. Throughout the class, they refine their venture’s hypothesized business model on the basis of instructor and peer feedback. At each stage of venture plan development, they learn critical terms, apply tools that support research and decision making, and develop a deep understanding of how each major planning activity fits into formal venture creation. Additionally, they hone critical professional skills including creative problem-solving, communication and negotiation, project management, financial analysis, and collaborative leadership. By the end of the class, participants have generated robust business models, with supportive venture plan documents, investor pitches, websites, and crowd-funding videos.

Introduction to Philosophical Enquiry: E
ETHICS
This course introduces students to normative ethical theory and applies these theories to several concrete moral issues
Following an orientation in philosophical themes and methods, the course divides into two basic units – roughly, ‘theory’ and ‘practice.’ We first look at the conceptual or theoretical foundations of ethics, surveying four major approaches to ethics in Western philosophy: consequentialism, Kantian ethics, virtue ethics, and the ethics of care.
With these tools in hand, we assess three contemporary moral problems: abortion, freedom of expression and ‘cancel culture," and inequality. We shall be concerned with questions such as: Is abortion morally permissible and, if so, under what conditions? What is freedom of expression, why do we value it, and to what extent should it be limited? What is ‘cancel culture,’ and to what extent is it, or could it be, morally good or bad? What are the various dimensions of the concept of moral equality? Is it immoral that some people are unequal with respect to resources such as wealth, income, education, and healthcare? In theorizing about justice, is a focus on individual distributive shares of such goods a distraction from practical realities of inequality in race, gender, etc?
Readings are drawn from classical sources such as Aristotle, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and John Stuart Mill and contemporary philosophers including Peter Singer, Virginia Held, Judith Jarvis Thomson, John Rawls, Elizabeth Anderson, and Tommie Shelby.
Through lecture, independent reading, and class discussion and debate, participants gain a familiarity with some of the fundamental issues in ethics, an understanding of the distinctiveness of philosophical enquiry, and an improved ability to think critically and to express themselves clearly and cogently.

Drawing: Eye & Idea
DRAWING: EYE & IDEA
Studio arts courses are offered in conjunction with Columbia University's School of the Arts.
In this online beginner-level class, students explore various modes of looking at and interpreting the world through drawing. The course emphasizes drawing from both observation and imagination as ways to learn traditional and digital drawing techniques and foster creativity and personal interpretation. Course assignments develop the use of traditional drawing materials alongside conceptual prompts to find creative approaches to visual problem-solving. Assignments include exercises in composition and experiments with scale, the development of personal narrative and subject matter, and the use of charcoal as well as animated digital tools, all with personalized attention from the instructor.
The course combines demonstrations of drawing techniques, individual conferences with the instructor as well as online group critiques, and virtual studio visits with professional artists. Critical issues in art are addressed once a week through group writing prompts and online discussion, so as to generate meaningful debates as a context for studio work.
Participants learn how to prepare a final portfolio for college applications and are instructed on how to professionally document and present their work. The session concludes with a final drawing project, in which the students work on animating and editing as a group. A final blog will house a virtual exhibit, and work is shared within the community on a social media platform.

Intro to Philosophical Enquiry: Love, Hu
INTRO TO PHIL:LOVE/HUM EX
This course is designed for students who want to engage in lively debate on a philosopher's ideas, closely read primary texts, and investigate how philosophical concepts are present in our experiences today. In the process of delving into key philosophical texts about love, human excellence, and existential freedom, course participants are familiarized with the basic methodology of philosophical enquiry.
We begin by reading and discussing Plato's Symposium and Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, their respective treatises on love and moral character (virtue ethics). Students debate questions related to the dialogue on love that Plato develops through the voice and character of Socrates. What is love and what does it mean to be a lover of wisdom—a philosopher? In the Ethics, students discuss the topic of human excellence and seek to answer how humans should best live their lives. In a practical sense, what is the purpose of human life and what is the ultimate goal of human endeavor? Why does Aristotle consider friendship a virtue, an excellence one must pursue if one wants a good life, Eudaemonia?
Having established the classical foundations, we move into the 20th Century and begin a dialogue and exploration of ideas on existential freedom, choice, and responsibility. We begin with readings to explore the ideas of determinism and indeterminism associated with various philosophies of freedom. Specifically, we focus on the foundational works of Jean-Paul Sartre’s concept of existential freedom found in Being and Nothingness and Soren Kierkegaard’s religious freedom from Fear and Trembling, which Donald Palmer introduces in Does the Center Hold? An Introduction to Western Philosophy. This introduction serves as the foundation students need in order to grasp the idea of existential freedom articulated in the essays that make up Albert Camus' seminal work The Myth of Sisyphus. Through this lens students will debate whether it is practical to attempt to live an existential life and how philosophers as diverse as Nietzsche, Camus, and Sartre would define that life.
In addition to the readings, participants will have an opportunity to critique film and other art forms that present interpretations of existential themes.
