[HYBRID] Scrolls, Statues, and Swords
All About Ancient Civilizations by Dominic Balice, offered in person and virtually
Available spots
Service Description
Travel back in time to uncover how the world’s first great civilizations began, thrived, and changed history forever. From the pyramids of Egypt to the cities of the Maya, students will explore how people built communities, invented writing, and shaped belief systems. Students will dive into ancient stories, solve historical challenges, and discuss what life might have been like thousands of years ago. Through hands-on activities and creative teamwork, students will think about what it means to be part of a civilization and how people work together to survive and create. By the end, they’ll see that the ancient world isn’t gone — it lives on in the ways we think, build, and dream today! ***[NEW - HYBRID] courses: Options for both in-person and virtual attendance. Class will be held synchronously in person at the University of Texas at Austin campus AND broadcasted on a live Zoom call for virtual participants to join simultaneously.
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
