Are we alone? In a universe so full of planets and stars that our minds can’t even embrace the number, this is the just one of the many scientific questions that drives our current and past space races. Humans strive to learn more about our world, solar system, galaxy, and universe as a means of understanding how and why life exists on our planet, and whether or not there could potentially be various types of life in other areas of our universe. 
On our small planet, there have been those who have dared to dream of the various types of life that could exist out there in the mysterious, vast regions of space. We call this Science Fiction, and we have thousands upon thousands of written works, movies, cartoons, video games, and art pieces all designated as such. It seems humans have, for generations, imagined and dreamed of these mysterious beings, we call Aliens or Extraterrestrials.
This unique class takes this topic for a creative spin as we look at how aliens are represented and depicted in various media and pop culture on our planet. We will look at specific games, cartoons, movies, and more which show a wide variety of aliens. Then we will discuss as a class, whether or not there might be the possibility of finding different types of life (bacteria, microscopic, animal, plant, etc.) out in the universe, and where scientists are currently looking for it. Students will learn that the “types of life” we might discover may be far different and varied from how the traditional “alien/extraterrestrial” here on Earth is portrayed. 
This course will serve as a stepping stone to expand the learner’s overall understanding of how the topic of Aliens has carved out an amazing array of movie lore, artwork, and more, which has amazed and bemused humans for centuries. 
This class is perfect for the space enthusiast, or any learner who loves open discussions about space related topics. 

*This one-time course is open to all learners who want to go on a fun, scientific and entertaining exploration of Fantastical Aliens. 

Teacher will also have additional resources, along with an amazing & fun review game in the Outschool Classroom, which will inspire additional learning for all minds! 

My unique style of teaching is full of high energy, funny, enthusiastic, and I love to hear from each of my learners during our class together!
