Water and Energy Education that theyhad designed previously. The first task was to provide a qualitative theory of water powerusage as well as a discussion about the impact of water power historically and locally.The discussion was very productive because of the community college's location inMassachusetts within an area central to America’s Industrial Revolution in the late 1800s.One of the field trips was a visit to a local hydro-electric plant near the college. Thecurriculum also included simple fluid mechanics, and terms such as head, flow anddiameter of a pipe.The quantitative section of the water power activity was to understand the principles ofthe flow equation, [Q = 0.62 * (cross-sectional area)*(2gh) 1/2]. This equation wassupported

and a Q/A session with camp staff and Department faculty, parents metwith counselors from Admission and a local high school. The meeting’s objective was tointroduce the parents to the plan(s) of study that would best prepare their child for successfulstudies in the STEM disciplines at a major research university. The Associate Dean forUndergraduate Studies was also available for questions and comments. The campers made theirfinal preparations for the Challenge while their parents attended this meeting. Reunited in thelargest of the classrooms for the Challenge, families cheered on their campers as the teamscompeted. Media coverage, both print6 and TV7, of Challenge activities in the second sessionadded to the excitement. An awards and
