Students recently signed up for term 2 seminars. Please check out our seminar options below:
Ever Taller: The Significance of Skyscrapers
Skyscrapers have drastically changed the way people live and work in large cities. As the world’s population continues to grow and urbanize, architecture like this may be even more important. In this seminar, we will explore the innovations that made tall buildings possible, as well as their cultural and historical significance. We will reflect on the impact architecture has on us in our daily lives and imagine the future of architecture.
Lies and Deception
Students will learn about the process of science and how to make a scientific study that is not biased. Students will critically evaluate scientific communication in the media and will be challenged to find real-life examples. Students will be asked to look at their own interests and personal health questions.
Japanese Sampler
Students will explore Japanese language, culture, and history in this seminar. Each student will also focus on a particular aspect of interest in Japanese culture to research and present to the class. Students will deepen their understanding of other cultures through various avenues; such as cuisine, sports, theatre, dance, and art. Students will discuss the meaning of perspectives, products, and practices in different cultures.
Food Truck Challenge
We all love a great meal, but have you ever thought about what it takes to create the business and recipes behind the name? Even if you haven’t thought that and want to learn kitchen skills, come join the adventure. Student teams will be creating their very own food truck company, designing a menu, learning recipes, and cooking for a community audience.
Career Development and Financial Success
Through this required seminar, sophomores will be exploring career and post-secondary planning, as well as financial literacy concepts related to banking, income, and employment.
