Session III July 8 to July 13 We journey to Albuquerque, New Mexico to spend an entire week in a workshop dedicated to Robotics Adventures. This is a hands-on, adventurous activity that will challenge the imagination of our students. The class will be offered by the world s leading robotic laboratory. IV July 15 to July 20 Many scientists have turned their attention to dinosaur discoveries since Sue s find. This year we safari to South Dakota and Wyoming to join a team of paleontologists excavating Triceratops and T. Rex fossils.
Students get a first-hand experience on how to dig and prepare fossils.
V July 22 to August 3 Our final session takes us into the Alaskan wilderness. We journey to Anchorage, to Denali Park, to Fairbanks, to Tok, to Valdez. From Valdez we take a cruise across Prince Williams Sound visiting glaciers, observing Dahl porpoises and magnificent birds. Once we complete the journey, we will have traveled on most of Alaska s highways. This is an intensive trip to observe the aftermath of the great 9.2 magnitude 1994 earthquake and investigate the powerful forces of glaciers moving massive rocks and polishing their surfaces.
