What a fun day! Core classes are going great! Today they built and flew planes (both paper airplaes and an online simulation), finished engineering oreo towers, discovered food-borne illnesses (indirectly, don’t worry no campers were harmed during this learning segment), investigated brain disorders, implementing their plans for apps to be used on mobile devices, and were challenged to retain heat in sub zero conditions.
Following lunch we then rotated through 4 different workshops where the girls used chemistry lotion, created roller coasters, had to complete relay races/activities that demonstrated renewable energy, and completed cup rhythms to show that algebra is the language of patterns.
Then we laughed out loud with Virginia during math night where she showed us some fun math tricks and a whole lot of math jokes! It was hysterical!!! After this, we returned to the dorms for a Breakout Babylonian Geometric adventure. Similar to an escape room, girls had to collect clues that were set up around the dorms to find the lock codes to break into the box to get the Babylonian artifacts (AKA candy!).
Lots of fun today, here are the pictures:
