Asa day camp, Imagination gets most of its participants from the surrounding counties.Imagination summer camp, originally called the Academic Enrichment Camp, was first offeredin the early 1980’s. During the camp the students participate in several hands-on activities thatrun by volunteering engineering professors and expose the students to engineering concepts.Most of the underrepresented minorities that attend the camp come from the Roanoke City andMartinsville school systems. To accommodate the increasing number of applicants, the camp isrun twice each summer on consecutive weeks for a maximum of 45 students each

Aggregate number of usersConcluding RemarksClassroom Presenter Viability. Readers should keep in mind that several of these tests wereconducted in worst-case situations. For example, it is highly unlikely that all student machineswould download or upload slides simultaneously, as in Test 1 and 5. Test 3 provided worst casescenarios of CP3’s real-time broadcast implementation. From Table 1 in the Appendix, we seethat the students’ machines took four additional seconds to display all vertical ink strokes duringTest 3A, and three additional seconds to display a continuous line during Test 3B. Feedbackfrom students indicated that this was a very much worst-case situation which only occurred onless than 5% of the student client machines. Most students

‘depth-averaged’ model.However major subsequent contributions to the subject matter took place during the 1960’s,wherein ‘variable-depth’ models were introduced. Let us consider for example, the potential flow over a horizontal bed. Let us consider a three-dimensional space with co-ordinates, x, y, z. However, for this example let us consider only the two dimensional plane x and z. If h is the mean water depth, and z is the vertical coordinate, then z = – h. One can arrive at a Taylor Expansion of the velocity potential η∀(x,z,t) around the bed level, z = – h. Page 15.214.3 Assume that u is the

These were analyzed to reflect on the objectives of the program, and to providefeedback for modifying future programs. In 2008 post-program surveys were collected from 14of the 16 girls. In 2009 surveys were collected from all 24 of the girls who participated.In the fall of 2009, graduate and undergraduate student participants were contacted to determinetheir motivation for participating in the program, and to determine the impacts of the program ontheir career goals, etc. Student were first asked about their involvement with STEP (whatyear(s), what roles) and educational program (what major(s), what year in program). Studentswere asked to rate

concepts.Methods of Data CollectionTo track the DREAM program’s effectiveness at imparting physics knowledge in the mentees,inventories were systematically administered at Austin High School, Chavez High School, andKIPP Houston High School.These inventories were intended to span the field of topics that occurred in the design projects ofboth the spring 2009 and fall 2009 semesters, to measure long-term retention. The inventorieswere broken into two parts. The first page was designed as an Intuition Inventory (I.I.). TheI.I.’s from spring 2009 and fall 2009 are nearly identical, as shown in the Appendix. Theseserved to gauge the mentees’ physics intuition without computation or algebraic representation.The primary topic covered on the I.I. was the
problem into the basic elementsof one (or more) LED(s) shining on a surface during the early stages of model development.Those who succeeded better in developing the mathematical relationships saw this as important.We do not yet know whether the sketching contributed to their ability to generate a model, butour initial analysis suggests exploring this in more detail.It is possible that the phototherapy problem was too difficult as a first attempt at modeling. Wechose phototherapy because students all had some background in previous coursework related tolight, and because it was unlikely to give an advantage to any students as a problem inmechanical or electrical modeling might have. We would have given students credit for amathematical approach

Some ofthe modalities for implementing those opportunities have to be developed through administrativearrangements, logistics, technology, scheduling and other means. The good thing is that it waspossible to identify possible failures before they occur.References:1. Adewale, O.
