Course Description

In this 6-week interactive class, students explore Ancient Egypt through the lens of secrets, systems, and survival—focusing on how Egyptians lived, built, ruled, communicated, and believed, rather than memorizing dates or facts. Each week centers on a compelling question and a hands-on activity designed to spark curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity. Students will design and play ancient-style strategy games, test pyramid-building engineering methods, examine how pharaohs maintained power, decode hieroglyphic messages, investigate the mystery of the Great Sphinx, and explore how temples and belief systems shaped everyday life. Lessons emphasize problem-solving, evidence-based reasoning, and thoughtful discussion, making history feel active and meaningful. This class is ideal for learners who enjoy building, creating, and asking big questions. Activities are age-appropriate, engaging, and flexible, allowing students to participate using common household materials or building bricks. No prior knowledge of Ancient Egypt is required—just curiosity and a willingness to explore how civilizations work.
