Challenges

  • Timeframe of Camp
  • 8:00am – 3:30pm
  • Hindered the ability to go in depth with certain topics and discussions
  • Length of Camp
  • Two(2) weeks
  • Students wanting to continue their learning experience
  • Hindered the ability to maximize the amount of content taught due to preparation

for the mini research presentation.

  • The short timeframe and length lead to discussions to expand the camp to

three(3) weeks

  • To maximize content taught and still conduct research presentation preparation.
