Mythology is the study and interpretation of tales known as myths; these myths express the beliefs and values a certain culture has. These stories deal with various aspects of the human condition: good and evil; the meaning of suffering; human origins; cultural values, and traditions, etc. We’re going to look at the most well-known figures and cultures of Mythology: the Roman & Greek Gods and Goddesses – the main focus of this course; but we’ll also look into the most important Egyptian Gods and Goddesses, as well as Japanese & Chinese myths.

Module 3 – 2 Weeks
Science

Every day, we further our collective knowledge through the different scientific discoveries and advancements our research has learned. Throughout history, Egyptians figured out the fulcrum and lever for finding proper balancing techniques to build the pyramids, Newton found a better way to understand and explain gravity, and Archimedes himself was just a brilliant man of his time. In this module, we’ll discuss and put into practice these theories, ideas, and concepts and how magnetism and gravity play their roles here on earth, other planets and moons, and in the vacuum of space. We’ll do experimentations with balancing, magnets, and try out one of Archimedes inventions.
