Lifelong Learning with OLLI: Ancient Engineers

1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Roxborough
Meeting Room
ADULTS. Register Now. Registration list will be shared with Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Denver.  If you have ever marveled at the buildings, bridges, roads and water distribution systems of the Greco-Roman world, this is the class for you. Ancient technology is incredibly interesting and even astonishing. How did they do it 2500 years ago? Classical-era technology often reflects the social, political, and cultural context of these civilizations and has influenced our modern world in substantive ways. Lacking modern engineering tools and expertise, ancient engineers were exceptionally clever in designing their systems which often displayed the ingenuity of their creators with great clarity. Charles F Holt, a retired engineer, spent over 28 years in R&D management for several international organizations. Charlie has a strong interest in science & technology and the impact on culture, history and diplomacy with a focus on the personalities shaping events.
