As we become a more data driven society, databases are increasing becoming the backbone of all modern technology. We'll first explore the concept of data and databases and how they are used practically all around the world, then we'll contrast SQL to other imperative programming languages, and finally we'll have some hands on time to learn the syntax and write our own SQL queries. At the end of the course, you should take home an understanding of the purpose of databases, key database terms, basic syntax on how to query databases, and if we do our jobs correctly, an unquenchable excitement of learning something that so few high school students are exposed to!

We're going to create a native Windows (WPF) application in just 50 minutes! We start by exploring the foundational basics and building blocks of XAML controls (StackPanel, Grid, TextBlock, Button). Then we will write a little bit of C# code. After going through the basics, we will create a full fledged Windows application that you can run and expand on in the future. Do some of these terms sound scary? Don't worry! We will start from the beginning and guide you ever step of the way. If we do our job correctly, you should have an unquenchable excitement of learning something so few high schools are exposed to.

This course provides a survey overview of general cybersecurity principles. You will learn not only practical skills on how to stay safe online, but also why cybersecurity is important and how it drastically affects today's world.

Do all the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees and do parallel lines never touch? Sure, but that requires the preconception that the universe has a flat curvature. What does this all mean? Join us on a journey to explore the science behind the curvature of our universe.
