4 Wednesday sessions: September 14, 21, 28, October 5
6-8pm
Taught by Chris Zic
Ages 12-16, limited to 10 students
Sure, your personal shuttle may have a killer paint-job, but does it carry enough fuel to break out of the dense atmosphere of your home planet? How long will it take your Interstellar Fleet to reach that renegade star system 100 light years away? Do you believe in hyperspace?
Science Fiction may be all about letting your imagination run free, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any rules. Many of the best ideas in sci-fi were discovered by writers who were trying to come to terms with real issues that make the prospect of space travel and colonization so challenging.
This workshop will help students create their own science fiction universes by discussing these basic principles. Knowing them will not only help you develop more convincing alien worlds, cultures and technologies, it can also lead you to ideas that are stranger than you would ever have imagined on your own.
