Rejected Rebels
Why are some people “before their time?” Some pioneering thinkers are accepted and hailed in their time, while others are mocked and marginalized. Why have some ideas, which we recognize today as obviously correct, been rejected by experts in the past? What factors led to right ideas being rejected, and what can we learn from 历史 so that we do not repeat it? 在本课程中, 我们将通过两个特定的历史事件来探讨这些问题:伽利略·伽利莱在17世纪30年代提出了太阳中心宇宙的观点, and Charles Babbage's design of a working computer in the 1830s. 我们将尝试通过激烈的角色扮演游戏来回答这些问题. You will take on historically-based roles, work with your faction, delve deeply into very important historical texts, write and make speeches, debate controversial issues (while staying in character!), participate in laboratory sessions, and try to win the game. Your performance in the game could change the course of 历史!
