Give yourself the gift of self-love through rituals backed by science and ancient wisdom. Whether you’d like to deepen your connection to yourself, a partner, or the world around you, this heart-opening ceremony will allow giving and receiving love to feel easier and sweeter. A few days before the ceremony, you will receive an intake form where you can share goals and any other important information. Before diving in, we will review your intentions and what the session will look like. Then add any items that were brought to your alter (they will be given back at the end). We will begin with some light breath work followed by a moderate yoga flow (no experience required!). After this, we will assist the rest of the mind and body with light sound healing. Your session will finish with a cacao ceremony that is designed to invoke feelings of love + connection and release blockages in the heart chakra.

Your guide will share the science and stories behind the spectacle—explaining how the region’s rich biodiversity, elevation range, and climate create such vivid and lasting colors. For those looking to fully immerse themselves in Appalachian autumn, this tour—especially in late October—is the perfect way to experience fall at its finest.

Housed in the only remaining building from the 1893 World's Fair, Griffin MSI is a Chicago must-see. When visiting the largest science museum in the Western Hemisphere, you'll experience a 40-foot tornado, climb aboard a World War II German submarine, take a run in a human-sized hamster wheel, descend into an Illinois coal mine, board a 727 hanging from the ceiling and much more! Griffin MSI is not a place where you walk around quietly and observe. You get involved in the fun — and learn — by doing. Just a few miles from downtown with convenient underground parking.

“Just magical. So awestruck and inspired.” Acclaimed artist Christopher Marley transforms nature's wonders—from colorful insects to fossils to sea life—into a stunning, immersive art, nature and science exhibit. It's beautiful, unforgettable, and uniquely curated for wonder. A stunning exhibit of thousands of ethically sourced specimens presented as breathtaking works of art.

A. Course Overview: The Python Programming curriculum is a one-semester course covering topics typically found in introductory computer programming (coding) courses. Other introductory programming courses are not required; students merely need to have typical computer usage skills prior to starting this course. B. Teaching Strategies: The course material is designed to appeal to a variety of students, from traditional learners who thrive on written text to audio-visual students who enjoy a multi-media format. All content is delivered through an online system that allows students to work seamlessly both in the classroom and at home. The main chapters concentrate on Python programming and computer science topics. Certain states may require additional topics ranging from computing ethics and security to career exploration to the impact of computers on modern society. The course contains additional supplemental chapters at the end that can optionally be used to meet common state requirements. Teachers may choose to assign Supplemental Lessons as desired to meet state standards or student interest. The final “Creative Project” is optional and can be completed in small groups C. Course Planner: Some classes may move faster or slower than the suggested pace. The planner assumes students are working daily with approximately 45 to 60 minutes of class time. In most cases, the planner estimates one day per lesson (including the lesson quiz), one day per graded chapter activity (lab), and one day per chapter test. Some larger labs are assigned more time. D. Reading and Objectives: Chapter One: Fundamentals of Python • Introduction to Python • Running Python Programs • Writing Python Code Chapter Two: Working with Data • Data Types and Variables • Using Numeric Variables • Using String Variables Chapter Three: Input and Output • Printing with Parameters • Getting Input from a User • String Formatting Chapter Four: Making Decisions • Logical Expressions • The “if” Statement • Logical Operators • More Complex Expressions Chapter Five: Finding and Fixing Problems • Types of Errors • Troubleshooting Tools • Using the Python Debugger Chapter Six: Lists and Loops • Lists and Tuples • List Functions • “For” Loops • “While” Loops Chapter Seven: Numeric and Data • Dates and Times • Advanced Data and Time Management • Random Numbers • The Math Library Chapter Eight: Working with Strings • Character Data • String Functions • Input Validation with “try / except” Chapter Nine: Functions • Writing and Calling Functions • Function Inputs and Outputs • Local and Global Scope Chapter Ten: Python Classes • Thinking about Objects • Class Variables and Methods • Managing Class Files Chapter Eleven: Class Instances • Creating Objects with Instance Data • Instance Methods • Managing Objects Chapter Twelve: Food Fight Project • Introducing “Food Fight” Chapter Thirteen: Creative Project Requirements (Scale as desired to meet available time) Design • Project Life-cycles and teams Coding Testing Supplemental Chapter One: Python on Your Computer • Installing Python • Managing Projects • Using the Python IDE Supplemental Chapter Two: Computers and Individual exercises per lesson Modern Society • Global Computing Issues • Managing Your Digital Identity • Impact of Computing • Artificial Intelligence Classes will be taught online (Zoom Links will be provided once registration is done) Let's head towards our goal to become a Python Programming master!
