Critical Focus on the Visual Arts: Archi

ARCHITECTURE AND SOCIETY

A two-course curricular option that provides a concentrated study of aesthetic concepts for students interested in the visual arts. 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.

Architecture and Society: New York’s Built Environment
This course introduces students to the visual analysis of architecture. Instead of surveying the history of architecture, we look at specific New York landmarks so as to understand how great structures not only fulfill practical needs but also influence our relationship to the physical and social world around us. By studying some of the city's notable museums, parks, houses of worship, office buildings, and transportation centers, we see how these sites reflect and inform different kinds of social experiences. Students become familiar with basic architectural vocabulary (such as light, space, mass, and circulation) and come to appreciate how architects of different eras and sensibilities have engaged these same elements to different ends.

We examine historical and current images of key buildings and places, discuss their essential role in urban life, and identify significant events which have made them memorable. We also consider how their portrayal in popular culture has contributed to New York’s identity and image as an American city and a global destination.

Some of the sites we consider typically include Columbia University’s campus, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Central Park, Grand Central Terminal, Lever House, and the 9/11 Memorial.

Digital Filmmaking: From Initial Concept

DIGITAL FILMMAKING

In this course, participants use their personal cameras (iPhones, iPads, or DSLR’s) to create strong, visually-driven short films and video exercises with an emphasis on the foundations of narrative storytelling. They learn a wide range of elementary film production techniques and build a technical and aesthetic foundation structured around film grammar, story development, script writing, sound, and editing.

For the final film, students work sequentially through the stages of production: initial concept, synopsis, treatment, script, storyboards, and final shooting and editing. During pre-production they learn how to plan for and realize a short film from concept to shooting script. During production, they coordinate and shoot their script. In post-production, they edit and polish their projects collaboratively, sharing feedback on scripts and cuts. The instructor provides guidance throughout the process, emphasizing the students’ responsibility for carrying the project from inception to completion.

Classes include both lectures and workshops, in which students thoughtfully critique and learn from each other’s work. Course instructors provide, in addition to guidance on film production, practical information regarding the film industry, film schools, and career paths.

The completed films can potentially be used for submission to short film festivals and as portfolio pieces for film or art school applications.

Exploring Careers in Law

EXPLORING CAREERS IN LAW

In this course designed for students considering careers in law, participants acquire a realistic understanding of the legal profession and of the steps and skills necessary for success within it. In the process, they gain insight into whether a career in law would be fulfilling to them.

At the heart of the course is exposure to the real world of legal practice. Through substantive instruction related to first-year law school courses, LSAT test prep information, and information about licensing requirements, students develop an appreciation of what is required to ‘get in, get through and get out’ of an American law school.

Presentations by attorneys representing a range of practice areas impart a “real world” perspective about law as it is practiced in the corporate, government, and non-profit sectors.

Participants engage in fundamental legal research and writing assignments. They participate in debates and mock trial and moot court related tasks, enhancing public speaking skills. These various exercises are intended to provide each student with a collection of transferrable skills, helping to make them more “marketable” as they move toward college and career.

A culminating collaborative practicum project is an opportunity for students to employ their knowledge so as to develop and present a law-based solution to a specific social issue of interest to them.

Legal Reasoning: Thinking Like a Lawyer

LEGAL REASONING,RES & WRI

This course focuses on reading case law and interpreting the underlying laws, the research and reasoning that underlie solid legal arguments, and legal writing, while also giving students an inside look at the practice of law today. The course is structured like a traditional introductory first-year law school class.

Students learn first to use the methods and tools of legal reasoning and research, which they marshal to create effective, persuasive, and sophisticated written legal arguments. Once they have a foundation in legal research, reasoning, and writing, they are given an in-depth look at various types of law through interactive sessions with practicing lawyers, via guest speakers and field trips to law firms. They learn about the trial process and the inner workings of the court system by taking a tour of a New York City court and viewing a criminal trial. They learn how to problem solve using the lawyer’s toolbox and how to analyze legal sources and develop legal arguments based on and supported by the law and cases we research.

In-class drafting and public speaking exercises strengthen participants’ reasoning, argumentation, and writing skills while introducing them to various types of legal work, including written memoranda and arguments for oral delivery. Students work in class on preparing legal memoranda of law on specified topics. After the final draft, they pair up to argue against each other in a formal court oral argument setting.

New York Experienced: An Urban Case Stud

NEW YORK EXPERIENCED

This immersive course designed for students interested in New York City’s urban environment, culture, literature, history, and public policy comprises six interconnected modules:

New York City: A History of People, Politics, and Place
What is New York City’s relationship to the American Dream? How does the City grow from its origins as a peripheral colonial outpost into a world capital? This overview explores New York's complicated historical origins, dynamic economy, tumultuous politics, multiethnic and multiracial populace, and innovative architecture as a basis for the rest of the course. We also examine how human biological and neuroscientific development play a crucial role in the development of the city. Students are exposed to methods of field study, visual analysis, and critical interpretation.

Writing the City
How is our understanding of New York – its projected image and self-image – shaped by literature about the city? How does the culture of the city exist outside of its boundaries? How has the city’s history shaped popular culture? Using short stories, poems, popular songs, journalism, and essays, students investigate the connection between the city and the manner in which it has been exported as a cultural icon.

NYC Systems and Community
The city exists as a series of overlapping systems; transportation, businesses, living areas, even cell phone towers and sewers all exist in close proximity, and often in tension with each other. It is a vibrant ecosystem: people, pets, rodents, pigeons, bacteria, and viruses competing for resources in close quarters. It has also been a place in which humans have encountered and conquered a significant number of biological challenges. Using systems thinking, students examine the community of New York as an ecosystem with a rich and ancient evolutionary past.

How do we exist in concert or tension with so many competing interests? The answer here defines our community - what we value and what we don’t. How do we evaluate what, or who, is valued in our community? How do our brains frame the way we interact with our community? This overview takes into account an evolutionary lens when diving into historical and contemporary examples of how the communities in New York have worked together or experienced tension.

Urban Place Design
What places make for an inclusive, successful, lively, and resilient city? We study various answers to this question – public/private part

Trial Advocacy

TRIAL ADVOCACY

Designed for students with a strong interest in law, oral argument, and mock trial, this course immerses participants in the adversarial world of the trial court.

Following an introduction to the United States legal system, students acquire a solid understanding of the trial process, including jury selection, opening statements, direct and cross examination of witnesses and experts, introduction of exhibits, closing arguments, and theory building. Students have the opportunity to observe court proceedings; meet with judges, local law enforcement, and defense counsel; and hear from experts in the field.

Participants learn to validate and analyze evidence while working in teams of prosecutors and defense attorneys to develop a trial strategy, argue to preclude evidence, and prepare witnesses for trial testimony.

The course pays particular attention to the Federal Rules of Evidence (with distinctions made for New York state-specific rules) that govern the introduction of evidence at trial. The rules of conduct that govern the U.S. trial system are explored, as are the various strategies of trial practice.

Students attend lectures and demonstrations and are afforded the opportunity to practice the skills learned through daily classroom exercises. Participants should be prepared to orally argue their positions and will be called upon to make presentations frequently. At the heart of the program are daily exercises, designed to hone students' trial skills, that are rooted in a hypothetical legal case.

The course culminates with participants, divided into teams of prosecutors and defense attorneys, presenting their final cases before a jury.

Introduction to Business, Finance, and E

BUSINESSFINANCE & ECON - LEC

This course focuses on the firm’s financial and economic behavior. The firm needs cash to undertake worthy investments, and the firm needs to identify investments worth undertaking. What models does the firm use to identify such investments? What sources of cash can the firm use? How do the financial markets in which this money is raised function? How does the market value the firm, its securities, and its investments? What financial instruments are available to the firm? What are the microeconomic models that best describe a firm’s behavior in such markets?

In answering these questions, the participants discuss stocks, bonds, stock markets, as well as valuation models of investments, firms, and securities. They also work with concepts like optimal investment strategies, what is revealed and what is hidden in published accounting statements, and what are some of the sources of risk. Students also acquire familiarity with the mechanics and history of the financial markets.

The course includes case studies and some sustained independent work by the participants.

This course meets for half the day as a large lecture and for the other half as recitation sections of approximately twenty students each.

Introduction to Material Science & Nanot

MATERIALS SCI & NANOTECHN

The progress of civilization is inscribed in the history of humans and their materials—the Stone Age, the Iron Age, and today’s Age of Plastics. Materials determine the technologies that provide protection, communication, information, construction, mechanization, agriculture, and health. Knowing why glass shatters, wood splinters, steel is tough, rubber stretches and recovers, nylon can be drawn, and tin flattens, makes possible the selection of materials for enormously different applications.

This challenging course is designed for students who want to deepen their understanding of the relationship between the nano- and microstructure of a material and its bulk physical and chemical properties.

The daily program follows a seminar format, beginning with a morning online discussion about specific materials, including animations and thematic videos, and culminating with afternoon online research presentations by faculty from Columbia University, sister academic institutions, industry, and National Laboratories.

Through individual and collaborative audio-visual assignments and class discussions, students learn to:

Differentiate between metals, ceramics, polymers, and composite materials
Search academic and professional journals and properly cite scientific work
Perform effectively in a group setting by actively participating in discussions
Discover the ethical implications of materials science in societal and global decision-making
Demonstrate problem-solving and critical thinking skills to evaluate the applications of a given material based on its nano- and microstructure properties
Students are expected to participate actively in class discussions and research seminars, complete a collaborative research project, and present their project in class.

Understanding the Stock Market

STOCK MARKET

With an increasing complexity, financial markets exert a powerful presence in our lives and are central to the functioning of our economy. What role does the stock market play and how does it function? What factors govern stock market behavior and lead to market booms and busts? How is the price of a company’s stock determined and how does it affect individual investors? This challenging course introduces the basic financial principles necessary to understand the role of the stock market in our economy and in our personal lives.

Class time is divided between lecture and lab. Participants assume the role of money managers in order to gain an understanding of financial markets as they manage their own portfolio of stocks in a session-long stock market simulation game. Stock options and future contracts are added to the portfolio as the managers gain market expertise. Financial theories presented in class lectures, news of current and world events, and analysis of company reports are incorporated as the new money managers develop strategies to test their understanding of the market for stocks.

This course covers a range of artworks from various periods in Western art, beginning with Renaissance painting and concluding with contemporary art. Students learn about the materials and techniques that artists use as well as the historical contexts in which they operate. While we look closely at specific artworks using the tools of formal analysis, we also discuss the different methodologies art historians use to interpret the social and cultural meanings these artworks contain.The goal of this class is to examine artworks while encouraging students to think about the choices that artists make as well as how these objects reflect and embody their specific cultures and time periods. While the course proceeds chronologically, it is not a historical survey; instead, each unit is a case study of a particular moment in the history of Western art and visual culture.

Feminist Art in NY

FEMINIST ART IN NY

In this course, we will examine New York as an epicenter for feminist art and history. We will learn about the impact of NYC feminist cultural institutions such as the Elizabeth Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum and the Lesbian Herstory Archive. Our goal is to sharpen our understanding of feminist art and space from an intersectional framework of race, class, sex, gender--essentially, our everyday lives. Students will write a short research paper examining three pieces of feminist art. As a class, we will collaborate on a zine (or make individual zines) focused on significant elements of intersectional feminism and visual art.

Communicating with Consumers: The Basics

COMMUNICATING WITH CONSUM

Have you ever wondered how companies make commercials, how many thousands of ads you see in a single day, why Procter & Gamble sells 12 brands of detergent, or why you buy what you buy?

This course answers these questions and many more as students explore the various strategies used by companies to communicate with the consumer. Through selected readings including marketing texts, case studies, and current news articles, students acquire a general background in marketing, advertising, and public relations.

Participants gather in the morning sessions for lecture and discussion while devoting the afternoon sessions to hands-on and group work. Students are required to create a new product and marketing plan to present to the class as their final projects.

Globalization: Challenges in Internation

GLOBALIZATION

What is the impact of the resurgence of populism, nativism, and geopolitical competition on foreign relations and economic growth? Is China’s push to turn the renminbi into a global currency a threat or an opportunity? What are the implications of an unsustainable levels of public debt (U.S., Europe, Latin America, and Asia) on the future of international monetary and financial architecture? Given questions such as these, this course examines the interplay between globalizing pressures and national interests.

Working from a multilateral perspective, students use case studies to examine the nature of relations between nation-states in a period of increased economic and political integration. Topics include theories of international political economy in relation to foreign aid and sovereign debt, international trade and capital flows, security and non-state actors, rights-based approaches to development and humanitarian emergencies, energy sustainability, and the role of international organizations and financial institutions.

For counterpoint, students also examine the political, ideological, and social determinants of domestic political economies, including that of the United States. The political mechanisms of economic policy-making and the relationship between domestic policy and foreign policy are explored using theoretical, historical, and topical cases; examples include the political economy of income distribution and social welfare, national defense and hegemony, the national debt, and globalization.

Students examine these and other topics through lecture, research, academic and policy dialogue, group projects and presentations, peer critiques, and guest speakers.

Thinking & Problem Solving: A New Look a

A NEW LOOK AT MATH

In this curricular option, which is intended for students who enjoy math and logical reasoning, participants develop a deeper appreciation for the richness of mathematics while further developing their thinking and problem-solving skills. The combination of subjects and methods enables participants to experience math in a way high schools are often unable to present it, approaching problems as open-ended opportunities for creativity, independent thinking, and intellectual excitement.

The course is divided into three units:

Logic: An exploration of logic builds the groundwork for further mathematical reasoning. What is mathematical logic? How does one structure a proof? How can this framework be applied to philosophical thought? One topic covered is game theory (how mathematicians study decision-making), which has applications in fields such as economics, biology, and psychology.
Counting and Probability: Abstract counting, in the form of combinatorics, serves as an introduction to set theory, which in turn sets the stage for probability theory. As an application, the class delves into cryptography, looking at how math can be used to create and read secret messages.
Advanced Topics: In the final week, building on what we have done already and depending one students’ interests, we look at a few advanced topics. Potential topics include planetary orbits, symmetry, topology, common statistical fallacies, and Markov chains.
After exploring these various applications of mathematics, participants select and complete a group project based upon their own interests within the field. The course concludes with group presentations on those projects. As collaboration and communication are essential in modern science, the presentations offer a valuable opportunity to practice and receive feedback.

Chemical Connections and Happening

CHEM CONNECTIONS & HAPPEN

Transferring electrons. Making and breaking chemical bonds. These are among the atomic- and molecular-scale happenings that we will explore in this course, combining discussions of chemical principles with hands-on laboratory experiments. \ This is an auspicious year for chemistry: 2019 has been designated by the United Nations General Assembly and UNESCO as the International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements, in honor of the 150th anniversary of Dmitri Mendeleev’s publication of his periodic table. Along these lines, we will investigate some elemental properties through laboratory experiments on oxidation-reduction reactions and acid-base chemistry. We will also use hand-held models and computer software to visualize three-dimensional molecular structures and to calculate the distribution of electrons within molecules. Finally, we will consider connections of chemistry to philosophical, artistic, and literary questions, such as levels of “truth” in scientific theories. Curiosity and interest in chemistry are pre-requisites, but no special chemistry knowledge or background is required. Appropriate for Grade Levels: 9, 10, 11

Is Fashion Frivolous?

IS FASHION FRIVOLOUS?

From the Sans-Culottes to Pantsuit Nation, fashion has moved from being an expression of class status to a declaration of self. Fashion has also been weaponized and used as a call-to-arms for political, social, gender, and economic reform. This course examines the role of fashion (Victorian to Modern) as a barometer of cultural consciousness, especially in times of oppression and social unrest. Students will create digital mood boards and learn how fashion designers use them, analyze descriptions of fashion in literature, and read about the evolution of fashion from seminal critics including Roland Barthes, Margaret Atwood, and Valerie Steele. We will view virtual museum exhibitions devoted to fashion, create a framework to analyze the role of fashion in modern life, examine fashion magazines, blogs, and Instagram posts through a critical lens, and learn about the design studios of New York fashion designers. Fashion has been dismissed as frivolous by critics, however women including Virginia Woolf and Anna Wintour have refuted that statement. By the end of the course, students will come to their own conclusions, exploring the reasons people might dismiss the role of fashion in culture.

Introduction to Trial Advocacy

TRIAL ADVOCACY

Through lectures, assigned readings, class discussions, and group projects, students acquire an overview of the United States legal system and the federal and state court systems, ultimately gaining an understanding of the fundamentals of modern trial advocacy.

Distinctions are made between criminal law and civil law with a focus on the different burdens of proof in the two areas. Special attention is paid to the three key components of trial law: the attorney as advocate, the judge as the gatekeeper of the evidence, and the role of the jury as the ultimate fact finder.

Students prepare a case, complete with witnesses and exhibits, through final trial before a jury. Through daily classroom exercises, they learn how to present and cross-examine witnesses, introduce exhibits into evidence, and develop trial strategy to effectively argue their positions to a jury.

The course culminates with participants, divided into teams of prosecutors and defense attorneys, presenting their final cases before a jury.

Understanding, Transforming, and Preserv

MOVEMENT IN DIGITAL SPACE

In the past few years, access to motion capture data, 3D base models, and software to “make an animation of yourself” has skyrocketed. From MakeHuman to Mixamo to CMU’s motion capture database, the ability to make and finish polished projects has become easier for many. While these resources are extremely helpful to create a range of projects, they lack tools to create diverse characters and movements unexplored by systems that center assumptions of neutrality. This workshop will introduce you to the DIY 3D community. We will go over questions including “Who’s making in this space? How are they making?” and “Who is left out of the community due to a lack of resources?” Attendees will learn and create using current “accessible” motion capture and modeling technology, and will brainstorm ways to make the technology serve diverse communities/bodies in their needs and differences Appropriate for Grade Levels: 9, 10, 11

No Name Mind

NO NAME MIND

As psychic lives of women and marginalized individuals are yet to be rendered in their full complexities, "No Name Mind" offers a space to name our experiences with mental health and and map the vast contours of our minds. In this two week creative writing workshop focused on mental health, we will explore what it means to convert private despair and silence into language and action. Lead by writer and performer Nina Sharma, the workshop’s interdisciplinary approach combines literary, socio-historical and psychological material that encourages participants to interpret and critique representation in media, art and culture and craft counter-narratives of their own. Open to all female-identifying and non-binary individuals, those who are, like Maxine Hong Kingston writes in “No Name Woman,” “…always trying to get things straight, always trying to name the unspeakable.”   Appropriate for Grade Levels: 9, 10, 11

Writing New York

WRITING NEW YORK

Broadway show superfans, buskers, comedy improvisers, Greenwich Village chess aficionados, NBC pages, sneakerheads, handball players—these are just a few of the unique subcultures and micro communities that bring vibrancy and culture to New York City. Why and in what way is New York able to breed and feed them? What is complex, intriguing and surprising about these New Yorkers, especially in their connections to each other and this city? By borrowing techniques of characterization and storytelling from fiction and learning some interviewing and research skills from journalism, students in this creative non-fiction writing class will craft portraits of these subjects without exploiting or romanticizing them. Students will write one profile, and build on that into a longer draft of a paper, which will be expanded on in revisions and workshopped in the class with feedback from the instructor and other students. We will read examples of literary journalism from Susan Orlean, Jeff Chang and others, and view some classic New York documentaries.    Appropriate for Grade Levels: 9, 10, 11

Leave them Wanting More: the Art of the

ART OF THE VERY SHORT STO

"For sale: baby shoes, never worn." In six words, the unidentified writer (sometimes attributed as Ernest Hemingway) prompts the reader to imagine a whole story. Who are the parents? What happened to the baby? Where are the parents selling the shoes? Who will buy them? A work of flash fiction (the very short story) gives us just enough information to suggest narrative and character, while leaving us to fill in the gaps with our imagination. In this workshop, we'll practice the art of the very short story, assessing what makes them evocative and memorable. We'll read very short stories by Jamaica Kincaid, John Edgar Wideman, Lydia Davis, George Saunders, and others, with attention to how these writers create meaning through very few words, while gesturing towards context off the page. We'll practice writing flash fiction with prompts given in class. Writers will come away with not only a toolbox for crafting this short form, but also with strategies for creating vivid scenes in fiction more broadly.   Appropriate for Grade Levels: 9, 10, 11

Witches

WITCHES

What is this course about? Well, it’s about witches…but what are witches about? Witches are about gender, sexuality, morality, fear, and authority, among other things. For millennia, females spirituality and female sexuality have been paired in ways that reveal deep-seated anxieties about the female body and its power. From ancient goddess worship to the frenzied witch hunts of early modern Europe to the child-devouring crones of folk tales from cultures around the world, we’ll delve into what the witch and those who name and pursue her reveal about deeply-held cultural beliefs and anxieties. We’ll work together to analyze the archetype of the witch across time and space and develop our own ideas about why she is so constantly compelling. We’ll also look at our own sociocultural moment and connect what we learn about witches to the world around us.    Appropriate for Grade Levels: 9, 10, 11
