​In this session students would explore the elements of playwriting. By the end of the session students would (as a group) complete the first draft of a short one act play. Though a variety of engaging activities and examples, the session would cover the following: What makes playwriting/theatrical production unique? How does it differ from screenwriting and prose writing? How to use plot structure to create engaging stories with interesting conflict and high stakes. How does our selected genre effect the way we write our play? How to develop interesting and diverse characters. How to write believable dialogue. How to handle your inner editor (the inner voice that tells us we aren’t capable of what we’re attempting to do) Students would work together to brainstorm and pitch ideas for a play. As a group, we would select an idea, develop plot, character and dialogue, and complete the first draft of a one act play. The session would conclude with a staged reading of their original work.

​This session will explore the reciprocal relationship between close-reading skills and creative output. Students will be guided through the process of close-reading as a method of learning the aesthetic, structural, and expository moves that expert writers make. Close-reading activities will be accompanied by the creation of personal writing pieces that incorporate the lessons learned during close-reading activities. We will do plenty of "writing beside master texts." Students will be expected to compose short, daily writing pieces. In addition to instruction, the sessions be buttressed by a writer's workshop format where students will be guided in offering feedback to each other. Students will also be encouraged to suggest writing pieces that they enjoy, for full class discussions. This session will draw upon two seminal texts of textual analysis and a variety of short-stories, poems, and excerpts from longer works. The guiding texts will be George Saunders' recently published, "A Swim in a Pond in the Rain" and George Toles', "A House Made of Light."

​Engineers take the knowledge we have and apply it to that they have acquired and apply it to solve problems. They do this in systematic way called the design process. In this course we will be working on challenges that enable us to work on defining the problem, doing research, developing solutions, building prototypes, testing it and then evaluating the solution. Students will work in teams to develop skills such as defining roles, cooperation, time management, and communication among others.

Students will build an “the elephant in the room.” To do this they will select an issue is important but that people simply aren't paying enough attention to. Students will work in groups to build a 6 foot elephant out of cardboard and newspaper. They will work together to turn their elephant into a visual representation of their issue. Students will then use their elephant to make people aware of their issue (in the past students have received letters back from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Brian Pallister, among others).
