After an energetic game of capture the flag near the cabins at Blackwater Falls State Park, the students moved to a new set of STEM activities. Students learned about the physics of a trebuchet with Amy, programming in Python with Avanti, and stream ecology with Gavin. The afternoon included a wide variety of seminars. Dinner was a special treat tonight as we dined in favorite restaurants in Davis in small groups. And finally, on our return to Blackwater Falls State Park, the group attended a talk about geology in the Blackwater Falls State Park Lodge.
