Day 1 Workshop: The Evolution of Comedy and Tragedy: From Aristotle to Today
Unlock the timeless power of storytelling with this immersive workshop. Dive deep into how the classic genres of Comedy and Tragedy—revered since Aristotle and reimagined by Shakespeare—have shaped not only our stories but the very fabric of society. You’ll explore the roots and relevance of these foundational genres, from classic Tragedy to modern-day Crime, Romance, Melodrama, and Soap Opera.
Discover what Comedy and Tragedy reveal about the human experience. Learn to wield this insight to captivate audiences, bring characters to life, and deepen your own voice as a writer. This multimodal workshop will focus on using this knowledge in creative and academic writing.

Day 2 Workshop: Inside the Mind of a Computer
Our world is increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence, with nearly every industry leveraging it in some way. But how reliable is AI, and can we truly trust it if we don’t understand how it works? This course is designed not only to teach students how to create their own AI programs but also to deepen their understanding of the underlying principles and potential risks involved. Together, we’ll explore coding, experiment with real-world applications, and uncover the logic that enables us to transform numbers into incredible innovations.
