1. Create a new class
Create a class for high school students to take that blends the concepts of Pink’s A Whole New Mind with any philosophical tradition we have studied. For example, how might a class integrate the concept of design with the perennial concepts in math? How might empathy re-conceptualize an idealist history course?
Write the course description for the class you create. Your course description must include the following:
1) A course title that includes the concept from AWNM
2) A brief introduction for the course and the AWNM concept that drives the curriculum
3) A summary of the content and skills (at least 5) that will be covered and the traditional philosophical frame (see Oregon State website) that has been re-conceptualized
4) A summary of the ways students will be assessed for mastery of this material
5) 12 pt. font, double space, checked for proficient grammar, spelling, punctuation

Students will first become certified divers by completing all P.A.D.I. classroom requirements during the first month. Concepts such as buoyancy control, the physics of S.C.U.B.A, diver safety, equipment function and maintenance, and aquatic rescue will be covered. Mastery will be assessed by passing the Open Water Certification Dive at Navy Pier (a sunken-wreck dive to follow the exam). The second part of the course covers coral reef ecology. Students will study the formation of coral reefs, reefs as
