​​​​​​Here's what's coming up...

Wednesday and Thursday Classes (10-13 year olds)

AI Art (Mar 5-6, 2025)

Should (some) AI-generated images count as art? If so, who is the artist, the AI or the user? Neither seems like a great candidate. And yet, AI-generated images can be stunning and have won art competitions. Questions about AI art will of course lead to questions about art in general...


Charity (Mar 12-13, 2025)
​Should people with more than enough money for themselves and their families donate some of their excess money to charity? How much? Which charities? Is there any good reason to donate locally rather than to people in distant lands? We'll 'donate' some of our time to these questions!

Wednesday Classes (14-18 year olds)

Questions about God (February 12, 19, and 26)

The teens (14-18) and I have decided to dedicate the next few weeks to topics related to God and religion. On Feb 12, we will discuss the problem of evil: if an all-loving, all-powerful, all-knowing God exists, why does evil exist? It seems like a God of this sort would not allow it. We'll consider ways philosophers and theologians have tried to answer this challenge. On Feb 19, we'll discuss design arguments for the existence of God. We will decide as a group which other topics to discuss during the week of the 26th (and beyond if there is continued interest).
