Title: Game Design
Professor: Yunting Yin, Computer Science

In this course, Professor Yunting Yin introduces the fundamentals of game design through a combination of lectures and hands-on workshops. Students will learn about game engines, design principles, the game industry, the growing esports economy, and the role of music in gaming experiences. During workshop sessions, students will develop their own game projects using provided templates, with support from the instructor.

Title: How Rivers Work
Professor: Andy Moore, Earth and Environmental Science

Over 50% of the world’s population lives within 3km of a river, and over 80% of the world meets its daily need for water from a lake or river. Rivers are vital to our past, present, and future. In this class we’ll use our local river to study how rivers work from a historical, geomorphological, and ecological perspective. We’ll learn something about the history of the Whitewater River valley, where the water that flows down it comes from, and how scientists measure the health of river systems.

Title: A Week at the Museum
Professor: Ann-Eliza Lewis, Museum Studies
The Week at the Museum summer program will be a 5 day introduction to museum work. Students will be introduced to what goes on behind the scenes in order to preserve and interpret art, objects, and specimens to the general public. Students will work hands-on in the collections of the Joseph Moore Museum, develop tours or programs, and conduct a small research project with museum data. Throughout we will address issues around decolonizing museums, inclusion, and accessibility. The goal is to introduce the variety of professional interests and career paths that are available at museums. Each day will focus on a different competency (Day 1: Intro to museums; Day 2: collections; Day 3: exhibits; Day 4: engaging audiences; Day 5: museum research and wrap up).

Title: Metalsmithing
Professor: Lauren Darrouzet, Art

In this course, students will create art forms using a variety of metalsmithing techniques. Students will demonstrate skill in techniques such as sawing, piercing, filing, sanding, object setting, and patinas. They will diversify their knowledge of art and art making by exposure to contemporary and historical artists from a global perspective. Students will investigate solutions to design problems through sketching and research. They will also investigate the relationship between adornment and concept and then reflect on how they use their identity to express what’s important to them. As this course relies on different techniques, students will experiment to get the result they are looking for by creating samples. Finished projects will integrate their newly gained technical skill and their conceptual responses to project prompts. Conceptual aspects of assignments aid in the development of their personal voice and community. During the class critique, students will reflect on their art making from both the technical and conceptual perspectives. They will communicate with their peers while analyzing their peers’ work based on these same perspectives.

Title: The Psychology of Food
Professor: Maggie Thomas, Psychology

Food is an essential component of the lives of every living thing, but many humans only think superficially about how food influences their lives or how their lives are influenced by food. In this course, we will focus on food from the perspective of psychology. In other words, this means that we will be analyzing and discussing individual behavior and how individual behavior varies, all within the context of food. We will spend time discussing a variety of sub-topics, such as food choice, how marketing affects food behavior, the overlap of food with identity and culture, food insecurity, and more.
