Let's make games in Splash Spring 2024
So many games sound fun, but end up being total snoozefests. Why are games so hard to make? In this class we'll make our own games while talking about what makes a game good, bad, or downright ugly.


Do your own research! in Splash Spring 2024
Let's be real, the conspiracy theorists got one thing right: everyone is trying to manipulate you. Uncovering the truth about the world requires research, but research is a lot more complicated than clicking articles on Facebook. This class goes over bias, how research actually works, and how to find the truth about real world issues.

Who's afraid of red, yellow, and blue? in Splash Fall 2022
The Nazi's didn't just burn books, they burned art, too. Why is art such a big deal? Why do some pieces of art sell for millions while others pieces are viewed as "degenerate"? Can video games be considered art, and ultimately, who are the people afraid of red, yellow, and blue?


How to be happy in Splash Spring 2022
There's no single key to happiness, but many have tried to find some light in a chaotic world. In this class, we'll look at some of the most famous theories - absurdism, stoicism, buddhism - and use them to think about our own situations.


Cracking Conspiracies in Splash Spring 2022
The earth isn't flat, so why do so many people think it is? In this class we'll break into the psychology of flat earthers, false flaggers, and bigfoot hunters.


You don't exist in Splash Fall 2021
I'm sorry, you don't exist. Unfortunate that you had to find out this way. Are you sure you do? Well, come by and prove me wrong. In this class we'll discuss the philosophy of you, me, and the self. Who are you, what are you made of. Are you sure you're not a particularly clever robot? I'd tell you to sign up, but of course, you don't exist.
