Thirty-three students ages 12 to 16 will travel from five countries to attend TEWS camp at CSM from June 28 to July 25. Countries represented are the United States, Ireland, Sierra Leone, England and Nigeria. In an effort to obtain science literacy in an experiential manner, the campers will focus on open-ended discovery topics that are global in scope and interdisciplinary in nature, such as building the ideal house, controlling the Earth s population, and deciding what stock to buy in the year 2023. All of the topics have relevance not only to science and technology, but also to the environment, culture, politics, government, economics and society. Students will share aspects of their cultures with each other as part of the daily activities.
