The purposes of our largerresearch project are multiple: (1) To assess the effectiveness of a project-based camp curriculum that integrates digital composing, rhetoric, and design with computer science and engineering education; (2) To better understand the dynamics of collaborative/team-based and competitive projects in groups of middle and high school boys and
