What should we do with thousands of tons of toxic nuclear waste that will be dangerous long past our lifetimes? How do you design a warning message that can be understood 10,000 to 100,000 years into the future? And how do you combat human’s natural tendency to do exactly the opposite of what you tell them to do? This course will have students brainstorm possible solutions to these questions and learn what experts have to say on the matter too.

The election of 2016 was decided by 77,000 votes, but over 100 million people did not vote. Many of these Americans chose to not vote simply because they did not care. It's hard to believe so many people don't exercise their fundamental rights. in this class, we will try to change this trend; we are going to teach kids how precious the right to vote is, how unique to our country it is, and why it is so imperative they use that right. Hopefully, we will make voting (and the class) fun for these kids.
