Summer 2014 – Physical Sciences This camp is for students with a passion for physical sciences and engineering. By the end of the week you will be able to impress your family and friends with cool experiments and scientific facts! This camp will explore many fascinating topics including experimentation with LEGO Mindstorm Robotics. Participants will get a chance to work in University of Calgary classrooms and laboratories and they will be taught by University of Calgary students in the faculties of Science, Engineering and Education. A portion of the activities are based on the

Lectures were followedby a hands-on laboratory class or a computer-based activity where students could apply the basicprinciples of transportation engineering to solve a problem related to each mode oftransportation. Finally, field trips were arranged to help students connect the theory and hands-onactivities to real-world engineering and aviation applications. A Likert scale questionnaire wasused to inquire about participants’ opinions of STEM and to assess the effectiveness of theprogram in introducing students to STEM. This paper reflects on opportunities and challenges indeveloping and implementing the curriculum and suggests improvements to it.IntroductionHigh school students
