General Enrichment

This class will look at the information and images gathered by various space probes flown to the planets in our solar system since the 1960’s. Time will be spent looking at key planetary features on each planet and whether life could exist on these planets. During the last class we will look at the possibility of life on one of the thousand non-solar system planets known to exist. This class was last taught in the spring of 2015.

Learn to compile, format, typeset and print a chapbook of poetry, family recipes, family history, etc. that is suitable for gifts. In this course, participants will bring personal poetry which the class will combine and format to create files for a print-ready 8.5 x 5.5 booklet using free software.

Have you long wanted to try journaling, but just haven’t taken that first important step? Here’s your chance! In this class you will create four different journals (roughly the first half of class) and then follow suggested prompts to begin writing in each one (roughly the second half of class). You’ll learn why journaling is a particularly valuable activity for seniors and you’ll have the opportunity to share your work with classmates, as desired. This class will include both art and writing, so please bring your favorite writing implements and a basic art kit (scissors, ruler, glue sticks, pencil, etc.)
