From our 2012 participants
"…I now know the complexity of the field of energy and the multitude of creative ideas scientists have and their approach to bringing those ideas to reality. It's a great learning experience, it will change the way you think about the world. It is that in the future I will be a leader of a major company that will supply the world with energy!"
-William Mbongo,
Junior, West lafayette High School West Lafayette, IN.
"…It renewed my exitement about energy. I Loved the nuclear discussion! I liked all of the types of energy presented. I have improved my present lesson plans to include some new ideas and activities about energy. This is a great idea, I hope it continues! The camp has so much potential."
-Becky Stiller,
