What is courage, and what are its deepest possibilities for each of us? What does the life-risking courage of battle have to do with the courage to reflect upon our own lives? We will follow the theme of courage through a range of texts, spanning the ancient and modern worlds: from the Greek historian Herodotus’ 480 BCE account of the battle at Thermopylae, where three hundred Spartans held off the massive Persian army for seven days by fighting with “bare hands and teeth,” to Aristotle’s philosophic exploration of the virtues of courage and “greatness of soul” in the Nicomachean Ethics, to 20th-century depictions in American film, and finally to Charles Portis’ American novel True Grit, the story of a tenacious young girl’s self-discovery on a quest to avenge her father. We will also reflect upon quietly courageous contemplations in the poems of Tennyson, Whitman, Dickinson, Eliot, and Angelou.

In the Frontiers residential, overnight program for rising 10, 11, and 12th graders, students explore STEM through a collegiate lens, and prepare for their own college journey. Students are challenged to explore the outer limits of their knowledge in a STEM major and receive an introduction to a humanities, arts, or business minor such as entrepreneurship, digital imaging, or psychology!

The Engineering Design Lab (EDL) program will expose students to engineering, fabrication, robotics, and computation in the context of solving real world problems. Throughout the two weeks, guest speakers from across the university and industry representatives will discuss research and development happening within their labs/research groups, as well as issues and problems they face in the real world. These speakers will be a source of inspiration to the students for completing their engineering design projects.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the sub-field of Machine Learning (ML), are rapidly becoming an integral aspect of many different technological systems, and revolutionizing both computer science and engineering solutions to many everyday problems. Yet the general understanding of the fields, and the impact of these tools on society, is still not well understood by either the general public nor even fully appreciated by those developing the technology.
