We know the technical changes needed for a relatively safe climate future: reduce human-made greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050 and reduce CO2 in the air below 350 ppm by 2100. We also know that when pollution is free, we get too much of it. Climate pollution is still free in most countries. The most powerful and fair way to address our climate pollution problem is to fix the market's failure to account for it with a three-part solution:

1) Charge fossil fuel producers for the climate pollution in their products,
2) Give the money collected to all households on an equal basis, and
3) Use border carbon adjustments to protect US businesses and push the price around the world.

A strong carbon price signal will incentivize efficiency, innovation, transition, and drawdown. Sending the cash back to households will protect purchasing power and support the high price needed. Complementary policies are also necessary, but this is our best first step.

It sounds so easy! What's preventing us from doing this? Is it possible to break the logjam and save ourselves? Can any of us do anything to help solve the most significant existential crisis human civilization has ever faced? Yes, we can.

Each of us can take effective action in this pivotal moment in humankind’s history. Ordinary citizens advocating for change is our last, best hope to avoid climate catastrophe. Let's get started right now!

Lecture

President James Madison would like to come to your classroom and lead a forum on the issues and debates leading to the establishment of this country. From 1776 onward, as the United States came into being, James Madison was at the center of it all.

With the assistance of audience members reading appropriate dramatic
quotations from Patrick Henry, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Dolly Madison, etc., he will lead investigations into events from the House of Burgesses, the Constitutional Convention, the “Dinner Party,” etc., that marked the coming of age of the United States.
More than a mere recitation of dates and facts, this will be an exploration the underlying reasons that prompted them to act as they did. Many of the issues they confronted then continue to be relevant today.
• Should we be one Country?
• What debts should be paid?
• Who gets the power of Taxation?
• Should a Private Bank issue money?
• Should we be agrarian? Or a center
of manufacturing?
• How do we limit the influence of Great Corporations on our public life?
• How can we protect the Common Man from the rapaciousness of the Rich and Powerful?
• How do we eliminate Slavery? • How do we make real the
“Spirit of ’76?” So we can truly say that “All Men are Created Equal.”

*Part 1!* See "ASL Fingerspelling and Classifiers (H868) for Part 2!

If you are learning ASL and you feel like you are all thumbs when it comes to fingerspelling. Or, when someone finger spells something you think "I have no idea what they spelled!"
This is the class for you. We will spend the first hour learning what you know and working out the kinks. The second hour will be spent on using classifiers those pesky handshapes that aren't signs at all, but are used for storytelling, joke telling, poems, and NO, not for charades. Although, they are very useful when you are in a foreign country and don't know the language, but user beware.

Prerequisites
American Sign Language fingerspelling and at least some ASL exposure. Students should be comfortable with "cameras on" so that we can communicate with ASL!

*Part 2!* See "ASL Fingerspelling and Classifiers (H867) for Part 1!

Are you are learning ASL and feel like you are all thumbs when it comes to fingerspelling? Or, when someone finger spells something, and you say to yourself: "I have no idea what they spelled!"? This is the class for you. We will spend the first hour learning what you know and working out the kinks. You will become more confident in your fingerspelling and in reading someone else's fingerspelling. We will also work on using classifiers. If you aren't familiar with the term classifiers, don't worry. If you have taken an ASL course you have seen them. Be prepared to be seen. Fair warning. You will be expected to participate in this course and be seen on the zoom in front of the class. It will be fun and everyone will make mistakes. We learn not from our successes but from our failures. I know. It took me six years to learn ASL and I am still learning 30 plus years later

Why do we spend money the way we do? Why do people love free giveaways so much? Is receiving $1 today better than receiving $2 tomorrow?

Classical economics assumes that people make "rational" money decisions. But as you've probably noticed in your real life, we don't always make great choices (for example, that shirt you bought and never wear...) Behavioral economics tries to address this. We'll talk about some common mistakes we make in our daily decisions and discuss ways to fight these biases.

Prerequisites
Previous basic coding experience would be beneficial, but not required.

In the past couple of years, everything has gone remote at least once. We've learned to take classes, go to doctor's appointments, and have parties over Zoom. At this point, the internet is probably the last thing you expect to be surprised by. But it also contains more information than you could ever remember, and more words than you can read in a lifetime. This class aims to show you the stuff you haven't seen yet. Join me as we explore everything from open-source NSA coding tools to the complete works of Shakespeare, and answer questions ranging from "what is American cheese, actually?" to how to evade facial recognition software on social media.

Note: This is an entirely updated version of a class offered during previous Rainstorms; you do not need to have attended the previous class, nor will this one repeat material. Check out one of those previous versions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtQrPttZrHY

Prerequisites
All you need for this class are critical thinking and the ability to use Google. Also, as the description implies, some potentially alarming topics will be mentioned, including mass surveillance. I will give some warning when I will be talking about these subjects, but this is just a heads up.

In this class, we will learn about theoretical computational models including Deterministic Finite Automata (DFAs) and Non-Deterministic Finite Automata (NFAs) and learn how to make and test an NFA using an online tool. We will also touch on the theory of distributed computing by exploring communication complexity: if two computers need to work to solve a problem, how do we minimize the amount of times they need to exchange data? After taking this class, you will have a good understanding of some of the fundamental models that underpin computers.

I want to give a talk about how to win at games in general, but it turns out that games are hard.

Instead, I'll be talking about a very specific subset of games called "impartial games". These games are much easier to analyze, but are by no means trivial. Our goal will be to come up with a strategy to beat any impartial game. Along the way, we'll do some weird math like "playing tic-tac-toe with only X's" and "accidentally drawing a Sierpiński triangle on a chess board".

Lecture

Have you ever wondered how conjoined twins come to be? Or whether the accounts of babies with tails or gills are really true? Can you be born with all of your organs in different places inside your body? The answer to these, and many other, fascinating questions lies in embryology, the study of how organisms develop as embryos. In this class, we’ll discuss fringe embryological cases, like the famous dipygus Myrtle Corbin, and what they reveal to us about the biological processes behind how we go from being a fertilized egg to a fully formed person.


Class Style
Seminar

Prerequisites
Some knowledge of biology is helpful, but not required.

Bioinspired design views the process of how we learn from Nature as an innovation strategy translating principles of function, performance and aesthetics from biology to human technology. The creative design process is driven by interdisciplinary exchange among engineering, biology, medicine, art, architecture and business. We will learn about the biomimicry design process from original scientific breakthroughs to entrepreneurial start-ups using case studies that include gecko-inspired adhesives, robots that run, fly and swim, artificial muscles, computer animation, medical devices and prosthetics while highlighting health, the environment, and safety.

Energy -- making it, storing it, using it, and doing it all sustainably -- is one of the biggest challenges facing the world. Crystals are beautiful, intriguing, and claimed by many enthusiastic bloggers to have elusive properties for controlling and harnessing our inner energies. But in the world of real science, crystals are perhaps more exciting and powerful than any blogger imagined--including harnessing, storing, and controlling energy in the 21st century! We will talk about how the chemistry and physics of crystals leads to exciting properties and applications to solar cells for catching sunlight, batteries for storing energy, catalysts for clean fuels, and maybe even superconductors. In addition to materials already in use, we will explore future energy applications involving cutting edge nano- and quantum-materials. Along the way, we will learn about bonding, lattices, band structure, surfaces, and other fundamentals of material science underlying these critical applications.


Class Style
Lecture

What is the world made of? Different scientific fields each have unique tools and perspectives when it comes to exploring and describing the matter which surrounds us. In this class, an enthusiastic teaching duo - consisting of a chemist and a physicist - will take you on a journey of the different chemical and physical approaches scientists use to understand the material world. We will answer big questions like “how do different energy scales explain why the sky is blue?” and “how do bonding and symmetry combine to make metals conduct electricity?”. Through this exploration, we will learn how physicists and chemists think about matter and how we can combine these different understandings to answer key questions about the world around us. As a bonus, we will talk about our individual journey’s as scientists in chemistry and physics and give a quick breakdown of cutting-edge research happening in our laboratories.

When you hear “physics,” you might think of a class taught in high school, or as headlines about detecting gravitational waves or photographing a black hole. However, the road from first experiencing physics to active research is often confusing, and it looks very different for each person. In this seminar-style class, five early-career physicists describe their journeys to physics, and their exciting study of stars, atoms, materials, plasmas, and quantum gravity. The class will conclude with a question-and-answer session where students can ask about science, career paths, life in physics, or anything else.

You may have heard that over 80% of the matter that makes up our universe is mysterious "dark matter." But if we can't see it, how can we possibly know that it's there? In this class, I'd like to convince you that most galaxies we observe must contain dark matter - even if we don't know what it is.

At it's core, this is a physics problem. Luckily, there are only two equations needed, both of which you've seen before if you've taken a high school physics class. If you haven't, don't fret! I'll still be giving you an intuitive understanding of why we need dark matter. The equations will just be there for those who want to see them.

I'll teach you all the biology and science you'll need to know, but we'll move fast! Since this course concerns material that is especially personal to so many individuals (including many of your peers!), be sure to come in with a scientific and respectful perspective :)

Did you grow up trying to catch 'em all? Or are you looking to answer the real questions - is it actually possible for a whale to breed with a cat? Can a creature eat like a plant, or... Breathe fire? Could we actually create an electric yellow mouse in a lab?

Make no mistake - this is a class on genetics and a crazy field called synthetic biology, which you've heard of in news stories on "designer babies" and CRISPR, and in movies like Jurassic Park.

So let's stretch our imagination and see what biology allows. It'll all start with a woolly mammoth frozen in ice, an elephant uterus, and a really long needle...

Well, we may not have those things, but fortunately our friend Michael of Vsauce was able to string it all together for us in his Kansas hometown. The experiment that results is a fantastic demonstration of really important concepts in neuroscience, like sensation, perception, and how your brain is able to communicate within itself to integrate the smallest of inputs like the light your eyes process into things that actually make sense, like images of numbers or colors or your grandma.

We're going to use The Stilwell Brain as a vehicle to dive deeper into the visual system, neural communication, and sensation and perception!

This course might be slightly easier to follow if you watch The Stilwell Brain (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA5qnZUXcqo), but be advised we'll be watching basically all of it in class!

If I were a bacteria, what would I value? How do bacteria interact and cope with their environments? What do the bacteria on my gut and skin do? How do my bacteria interact with the animals and plants I am surrounded by? Where did all these bacteria come from? We will address all this and more during our class section. We will highlight why we as humans rely on the trillions of microbes that surround us or reside inside of us.

Scientists have an innate curiosity to push the boundaries of their knowledge of the universe. What else would have led them to discover particles smaller than atoms, like protons and electrons? But why stop there? What if there were even smaller particles and what if these could help explain the great mysteries of the cosmos from the Big Bang to the present day? Well, that’s exactly what the field of particle physics studies. Welcome to the wacky world of subatomic quantum particles that is the subject of a vibrant and fast-growing area of physics research. This seminar seeks to introduce and illuminate exactly what this area of physics is and to further highlight the subatomic particles known as neutrinos which could answer many important questions in modern physics. An extension into the interdisciplinary nature of particle physics will also be discussed including how high school students can start to be involved in meaningful research in this field.


Class Style
Seminar

Prerequisites
Curiosity and an open mind!

They say your face is bombarded by trillions of particles every second. Which you don’t see.

They say your hair contains many trillion atoms. Which you can’t see.

And they even say your Wi-Fi comes from an invisible spectrum. Which, of course, you will never see!

Finally, they say, all the things you don’t see make up the things you do see! So what do you see?

Particle physics can be surprising, confusing and downright funny at times. In this class, we’ll attempt to explore the tiniest and the fundamental things in nature. Not only do we focus on *what* we know (sorry, what “they” know) about the world, but also think about *how* they know what they know.

At the end of our Tour in Particle Physics, maybe you’ll see the atoms in your hair, the particles slapping your face, and the Wi-Fi that got you through Zoom days.
