This live four-day online camp introduces students to deductive logic through the language of truth-functional logic. Students learn to translate ordinary English into symbolic form, build truth tables, test whether an argument is valid, and recognise the difference between solid reasoning and common fallacies. No prior logic or philosophy is needed. Each day pairs clear instruction with puzzles, real arguments, and live practice, so students learn logic by doing it rather than memorising it. The camp is rigorous and accessible, built for students aged 14 to 18. Every student receives a verifiable digital certificate through Accredible and individual written feedback on a take-home final evaluation. What you'll explore: Day 1. Arguments, validity, and the basic symbolic tools Day 2. Conditionals: if, only if, and necessary and sufficient conditions Day 3. Truth tables as a test of every possible case Day 4.
