This year's camp began on Monday. It started off with marathon icebreakers, to help everyone get to know each other before we jumped into camp activities. After the icebreakers campers learned about different types of engineering through a lesson and solving engineering problems based around chemical, software, and aerospace engineering. At one station the rockets they designed flew much farther than expected because they thought beyond the example rocket they were given. After they solved the engineering problems the campers moved on to learning how to use tools, sawing the wood that they would use the next day to build their catapults.
