Day 9

On Monday the campers spent a lot of time preparing their final presentations on their research projects.  They will present these to family and friends on Tuesday June 26, in the form of a tri-fold poster and a video journal.  Today the campers also explored infrared light, had fun with some hands-on physics experiments and equipment (e.g., hovercraft riding), built and tested penny rafts, and got to safely view the Sun and its beautiful prominences and flares during the daytime.  The night will be capped off with a planetarium show, a laser show, and the movie Wall-E.
