We stress having fun with the questions, fun with the possible solutions as we create a climate of innovation and creativity. Professionals from a variety of technology companies in the area join us throughout the week to discuss their experiences and careers. One aspect of the camp is that every student will produce an electrical or mechanical project. One day is dedicated to an all day field trip to the Research Center at the National Zoo in Washington D.C. and a flight simulation to Mars at the Challenger Center. This camp emphasizes innovation, creativity, and invention as the prerequesite for good science.
College students serve as mentors and faculty as guides through the daily activities.
We will explore the natural world as our environment for experimentation. Everything we do is designed to be fun and exciting for the participants. Dr. Karen Oates is the camp director. Registration includes all materials, fieldwork, snacks, and projects. After camp care until 6PM is available at a minumum charge.
