I think in the beginning, when we asked the kids what their interest was in science or what they wanted to pursue, a couple of them said it really wasn’t a science career. But like you said, I think the kids were a little bit cooler. They put up a little bit of a wall, but as the week went on, they kind of dropped that wall. They believed in some of the things that we were doing and looked at it from a different standpoint. One of the girls said, “You know what, I never really like science, but this camp is making me think about it.
