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

For instance, the structure of universities, laboratories,industrial complexes, and even the clutter basement or garage of an armchair practitioner, cancontain reinforce thoughtlessness. Another example, is that the process of either science ofengineering, both of which being built upon previous works, in itself could engender humanpractitioners only concerned with furthering a particular line of work and not actively thinkingwhile undertaking such work.

The loads of the engineering classes are heavy and there are manyproblem sets, laboratory reports and other activities during the week.
