I hope you’re looking forward to camp as much as we are. We’ve been working hard to get everything ready for when you come, and even though we still have a lot left to do, we can’t wait for you to get here.
On the bioengineering side we’ll be growing cells and looking at particular structures under the microscopes. But that’s not all — you’ll get to build models of muscles and look at how disease changes their strength. You’ll also get to look at the same thing on real muscles, too! We’ll tour some labs so you can see how we use reflective balls to model human movement.
On the chemical engineering side of things you’ll be learning how to produce vaccines and make renewable energy. You’ll also get to use large-scale equipment that real chemical engineers use every day! Lastly, you will produce some things and get to take them home — like plastic, soap, and lip gloss!
At the end of the week, you’ll combine everything you’ve learned to build a factory that will manufacture and distribute polio vaccines to a rural part of the Dominican Republic.
Also, we’ll be ending the week with our annual luau and talent show, so don’t forget to bring your Hawaiian gear. If you’d like to share your musical, comedic, or any other talents with us at the talent show, don’t forget your steel drums, rubber chicken, or anything else you might need. And most importantly, don’t forget to bring yourself!
See you soon!
