the purpose is clear Unbounded Days draws upon The Webb Schools’ enduring purpose of inspiring students to boldly reach for a greater sense of who they are and what they can achieve. Through immersive, collaborative, relevant, and deeply engaging journeys that connect the classroom and the broader world, students expand their understanding of what it means to think, create, and reflect. They learn that their possibilities and their minds are truly unbounded.

When Robert A. Hefner III ’53 made his generous gift to the schools, he made special provisions to enable us to learn directly from extraordinary individuals. In this spirit, Unbounded Days has been created.

Unbounded Days has grown not only from Mr. Hefner’s personal thirst for creativity and love of exploration, but also out of his deep admiration for one of his former Webb teachers, Dr. Ray Alf, who first showed him how to think beyond what he could see.

Unbounded Days is supported by the

Robert A. Hefner III ’53 Endowment for Excellence in Science

adventure: winter Melanie Bauman and Brett Potash

John Muir proclaimed “the view from San Jacinto is the most sublime spectacle to be found anywhere on this earth!” The second highest mountain range in Southern CA, San Jacinto stands at 10,834 ft. In winter, the mountain transforms itself to a wonderland of snowscapes and challenging terrain.

During this three-day adventure, we’ll spend one day learning to navigate with a map and compass, reading selections by John Muir, and watching a winter adventure movie. On the second day we’ll take the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway (6,000 vertical ft!) to the trail head, hike 2.5 miles to Round Valley campsite, explore Cornell Peak with crampons and snowshoes, and chart a trail through unmarked territory. On the final day we’ll climb to the peak of San Jacinto itself, peering down over 10,000 ft. to the valley floor. This adventure teaches skills, stewardship and leadership, and shows you just how unbounded your limits are.

animal behavior Diane Wilsdon

Animal behaviorists are scientists who study everything that animals do. Their research tries to answer one or more of the fundamental questions about individual and social behavior in animals set out by Nobleprize-winning Dutch scientist Nikolaas Tinbergen: What is the cause of the behavior? What mechanism is underlying it? What “triggered� it just now? How did the behavior develop within the animal’s lifetime? What function or functions does the behavior serve? How did the behavior evolve over time? We will begin to address these questions by visiting several local shelters and rescue groups.

We participate in dog training sessions with local trainers, including agility training and Canine Good Citizen testing. We will learn the psychology behind dog behavior, calming techniques, and dog rehabilitation methods. This course is for the student who loves animals and wants to learn a bit more about a field of science that explores their lives and actions.

art & astronomy in the desert Blair Maffris and Steve Sittig

This unbounded experience explores the cultural use of astronomy in ancient societies, some of which dwelt in Southern California’s plains and deserts. Called Archeoastronomy, this field considers not only the science of the night sky, but the mythology and art associated with astronomy in the prescientific era. We’ll use modern instrumentation to learn how the stars were interpreted, create and construct our own primitive structures to study geocentric astral motions, and do plenty of hands-on work– hiking and drawing, photographing and a bit of camping. This course is ideal for the artist, the scientist, the historian, and the adventurer.

bike the coast Brian Caldwell, Jim Dahler and Geoff Owers

Saddle up and prepare for a thrilling adventure. In this course, we journey down the coast of California by bike and enjoy the sights and sounds that the central coast provides. Each day we ride approximately thirty to fifty miles as we explore the natural and built environment along the way. Sights we’ll take in include the breeding ground for elephant seals at Piedras Blancas, the magnificent Hearst Castle, and of course the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Traveling by bike is a unique opportunity to see everything from a slower-paced, hands-on perspective.

The experience will change your life. You gain not only a greater appreciation for the environment, California history, and wildlife but do it all under your own steam.

There is no better way to travel! Interested students need to provide their own road bike and helmet and complete a group ride and bike inspection before November 10 to be assured a spot in the course.

cyber capture

the flag Tim Coates

Ever play capture the flag? It is a game of strategy and skill; so is cyber security. In both, you are constantly evaluating if you should attack the opponent’s “flag” or hold back to protect yours. Sometimes an aggressive offense is your best defense, but it may lead to leaving your “flag” unprotected if things don’t go as planned. Learn the skills and develop the strategies from Elite White Hat Hackers in the field of cyber security and be part of Webb’s first Cyber CTF competition. Learn how to build a digital fortress that you will defend, while looking for ways to capture your opponent’s digital flag. It is an intense three days of building up your cyber skills and strategies, which culminates in a grueling competition of cyber CTF. No previous experience required, just a desire to learn how to hack for public good.

dance immersion

Heidi Eberle and Michael Szanyi

Dance is a kinesthetic, visual, and creative art. Students participate in a mini-dance intensive that explores dance physicality, critical dance observation, and useful tools for choreography. Over the three days, performers and choreographers from the Los Angeles area teach master classes from ballet to b-boying and from commercial to contemporary that expose students to dance’s unique histories and techniques. Each class is accompanied by a choreography session where students are expertly guided on the craft of composition. Students spend a day in Pasadena with a professional modern dance company to experience what the life of a dancer is like, and they also attend a professional dance performance at the end of the intensive. Ideally, students will experience that dance is the language of the soul!

dna barcoding of diatoms Lisa Blomberg

An Unbounded trip for science-minded students who desire to do research in a vibrant, academic genetics lab. We will study the genetic relationships between different species of a highly unique and biologically important group of microscopic single celled algae called diatoms. Diatoms have long been the subject of microscopy and art for the intricate morphology of their glass encasements which resemble Christmas tree ornaments! During this research experience, students travel to and camp near both freshwater and ocean sources to collect the diatoms in the field. After isolating diatoms from other plankton, diatom DNA is extracted and analyzed in the Genomics Laboratory at UC Riverside under the direction of molecular biologists. Students use the latest technology and cutting edge lab techniques to determine the similarities and differences between the DNA of different organisms in our collections, and hopefully contribute new sequence information to the national DNA database.

food science

Andrea Chou

Food Science combines the study of chemistry, nutrition, and gastronomy. In this class, we spend time exploring these three aspects of food. We spend the first day learning general nutrition. We will be guided by a registered dietitian in the morning and learn basic cooking skills in the afternoon.

During the second day, we focus on food chemistry and students perform several chemistry experiments with food such as calculating the caloric value for cheese puffs, making their own pH paper from purple cabbage, and performing a gummy bear sacrifice (intriguing, no?). On day three, students focus on gastronomy. They design, decorate, and make a bento box for themselves, and dine out at a local restaurant.

forensics 101: the science behind csi Andrew Farke and Kevin Quick

CSI and Bones are just two television shows that are based on the science of forensics. In this Unbounded activity students get to learn and “do” the science behind forensics. Students collect samples and do DNA fingerprinting to determine a suspect. They use ancient bones to help determine the cause of death in humans and other organisms. They visit the LA County Forensics facility to learn about the new technology being used in the field and a guest speaker will inform them on careers in forensics and how it is used in the world. The group will attend “BODIES: The Exhibition.” We culminate with a forensics scene where students use their new knowledge to solve a crime.

DISCLAIMER: At “BODIES: The Exhibition” and the LA County Forensics lab, students will see actual human bodies and individual organ specimens.

latin americans in los angeles Cynthia Garcia

The Latino population will soon no longer be a minority in Southern California. Today, Latinos make up two-thirds of the population in South L.A., a modern-day Ellis Island of the West Coast where Spanish is the unofficial language and Hispanics have changed the culture and pulse of the community. Latino immigrants constitute the back bone of the labor force in our community, from gardening to cooking they perform tedious and extraneous jobs that most of us don’t care to do. Who are these people? Where did they come from? Why are they here? What are their stories? This three-day experience explores the stories of Latino immigrants in L.A. Learn about the impact of their presence in L.A. and the manifestation of their culture through a visit to Los Angeles. Meet an author who gives Latinos a voice. Most importantly, have conversations with immigrants who perform “shadow jobs� and create a virtual composition of their personal stories.

learn to sail Brian Odgen and Will Walker

“Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats” - The Wind in the Willows. Head down to Dana Point Harbor for three days of messing about in boats, to not only learn the basics of how to sail, but also how important a part sailing has played in the history of California.

Instruction, both on shore and in 14’ Capri sailboats, takes you from complete novice to skippering your own craft through the waters of Dana Point Harbor, and potentially the Pacific Ocean. As we sit around our fire for two nights of camping on Doheny State Beach, we share experiences from our days on the water as well as readings from Richard Henry Dana’s Two Years Before the Mast, which gives you an insight into the days when sailing was the key that unlocked the coast of California.

los angeles’ urban trend David Fitzgerald

All over the U.S. a new urban trend is emerging.

People are moving

back into cities and reversing suburban popularity. They are searching for more amenities and walkable neighborhoods than what the suburbs can provide.

Nowhere is this urban trend more apparent than in L.A., where general rules are defied and urban planning/design is reinvented. In this workshop, students analyze three thriving urban neighborhoods: trendy Hollywood, eclectic Silverlake, and emerging Downtown. These three communities represent the diversity and heartbeat of Los Angeles. What current trends in urban planning and design are exemplified in each community? Each of these neighborhoods answers these questions in different ways. Explore the three neighborhoods and spend one night in a historic structure turned hotel. At the end of the workshop you will be challenged to redesign an urban park in the heart of downtown Los Angeles– become familiar with the background of the park and propose a new vision.

reading a place: the value of wilderness Andy Dahlstrom, Rick Duque and Morgan Kapp

American history is full of notions about nature, the frontier, open, wild spaces, and the role of the outdoors in shaping an “American Character.”

We will interrogate some of these notions, as we travel for a camping trip to Utah, where we will gain both social and solitary experiences outdoors and join in the discussion of the value of wilderness. From time together around a fire and paddling by kayak the easy waters of the Colorado River canyons to an exercise in solitude—you alone outdoors for a period of the day—we explore the varied meanings of Nature. Added to a normal wilderness outing is study of one essay: Wallace Stegner’s Wilderness Letter that was written fifty years ago about the spot we will camp and explore. Further intellectual work will be a tour of Glen Canyon Dam, and an introduction to Place Attachment Theory, which explains how people make the outdoors important.

rube goldberg machine Jonathan Capone and Ron Hastings

In a culture obsessed with great design, the Rube Goldberg machine takes its place in history as being the epitome of anti-design. Rube Goldberg was an American cartoonist best known for his series of wacky inventions. These cartoons combined simple machines and common household items to create complex and silly contraptions that accomplished mundane and trivial tasks. In this project, we design and build a Rube Goldberg machine. A successful Rube Goldberg machine incorporates the everyday objects people are used to seeing and connects them in ways that may seem idiotic or ingenious. Through this kind of exploratory play, students are able to experiment with materials and by pushing their limits, are encouraged to consider a wider range of possibilities when problem solving. Explore engineering principles, aesthetic design, and playfulness as part of the creative process.

vertebrate paleontology of the goler formation Sadie Kingsbury and Don Lofgren

The Goler Formation is the only Paleocene aged rock unit (60 million years old) on the West Coast of North America that has yielded a diverse assemblage of vertebrates, such as turtles, crocodiles, and mammals. Goler Formation specimens of extinct primates, marsupials, and multituberculates constitute the oldest records of mammals known from California and study of these fossils has significantly changed our perception of the geologic history of California. The Goler Formation is located in the El Paso Mountains near Ridgecrest, California, about 2.5 hours north of Webb. Participants spend Wednesday-Friday camping in the El Paso Mountains, collecting fossils and rock samples to be processed back at the Alf Museum; returning to campus Friday afternoon. Dinners and breakfasts are cooked over a campfire using peccary pans. Saturday is spent in the research lab at Webb, where students process rock samples and analyze fossils collected.
