Each morning, participants begin their day with brain teasers or an excursion into the local area. A topic such as Coding, Puzzles/Games/Logic, Ratios and Measurement, and Buoyancy are introduced each day to guide the day’s activities and discussions.  Participants will engage these concepts in the classroom and laboratory, and then see how they are used by going out into surrounding area on field trips and excursions.
