This course is designed to help students become independent thinkers capable of navigating today’s information-rich world. In an era filled with real-time data and opinions, the ability to analyze, reason, and defend one's perspective is crucial. We will explore the core principles of logic and reasoning, applying them in engaging and creative ways to make learning enjoyable. Throughout the semester, students will participate in interactive activities, such as solving puzzles, playing stimulating games, and making evidence-based predictions. Thought experiments will challenge their critical thinking as they tackle problems, analyze arguments, and identify logical fallacies. This course is highly interactive and aims to enrich high school students' analytical skills while ensuring they have fun in the process.
