Service Description
Science Fiction can be as fantastical as it is thrilling. Have you ever wondered while watching a movie, "How realistic is this?" What would it take to make a lightsaber? Can we jump through the galaxy at warp speed or go through wormholes like in Interstellar? And how long could you survive if you were stranded on Mars? Join us for a six-week course on "The Science of Sci-Fi", where we'll look at some of our favorite movies, books, video games, and TV shows under a microscope and find out how possible they really are. No prior knowledge required - just bring your enthusiasm and get ready to dive into the incredible worlds of Sci-Fi!
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.
