This seminar is for those who wonder about creativity in history, science, and learning. We will recreate Galileo’s experimental and creative process for yourself while you reflect on the times and works of Galileo. As you experiment, like Galileo, you will keep a journal of your experiments, observations, and reflections on your project. As a final exercise, you will write a brief reflective paper on your experiments and experiences as a learner.
