Day 9! It's gone by so fast!
We started the day with a very interesting and eye opening presentation by Dr. Anant Paravastu, a chemical engineer, and Sarah Leonard, a grad student at FSU. They discussed the nature of science, their career paths, and their current research on MAX8 Protein using solid state NMR. The SciGirls had great questions about the practical use of Dr. Paravastu's research and how it contributes to the ongoing research of common molecular diseases, such as Alzheimer's Disease.
After a picnic style lunch in the front of the MagLab, we went upstairs to begin making chaos...Chaos Towers, that is! The girls worked tirelessly for hours to perfect their Rube Goldberg device tower. Challenging, yet very engaging, these very complicated structures are made up of simple machine components that work together to get a marble from the top of the tower to the bottom and then back up again. The task was a very good team building task as the girls helped each other remain patient through the trial and error process.
We can't believe that tomorrow is the last day of camp. :( We hope to see all parents and supporters at the reception tomorrow evening at WFSU to celebrate the SciGirls' successes!
