, such ashardware layouts and programming techniques. On the laboratory days, they applied andreinforced the learned knowledge through hands on experiments, such as building the robotframe, writing code in embedded C program and so on. By teaching in this manner the coursedoes not only focus on the traditional lecture style of teaching, but allows the material to reachstudents with different learning preferences. A few challenges were also incorporated into thecourseware, such as building a robot chassis and then requiring students to improve it bymounting sensors with only a limited amount of parts and time. This forced them to useinnovation and creativity in their design process. The culmination of the course was a final

science of hair. In our first year of the camp, we devised a lesson onrace and hair to help students think about the ways their ancestry and cultural conditioninginfluenced their hair texture and hairstyle choices. We knew the girls would be using an AFMmicroscope as part of the hands-on learning at the camp, thus combining a conversation aboutrace and ancestry with the ability to observe differences in hair under the microscope would helpstudents connect social issues with laboratory methods. As the GAMES girls tend to be abouttwo thirds white, we also thought introducing small group and intergroup interaction would be animportant way to engage on this topic12.We began the lesson, led by Dr. Kathryn Clancy, with a discussion question: What do
