SciGirls I 2015 - The Finale

Even though these two weeks have whipped by, Don't Worry, Be Happy! SciGirls I 2015 has come to an end and let me tell you we went out in true science form. We started the morning with a mock excavation facilitated by Dr. Alex Parsons, Dr. Katie Miyar, Satin Bowman, Julia Aleszczyk, Megan Reed, Dr. Hillary Conley, and Shabria Williamston. This interactive experience taught the girls the basics behind an archeological dig as they took pictures of their sites, measured dug holes, flagged artifacts, and then recorded all of this information prior to collecting the items within their areas. What an awesome opportunity to 'replicate' a scene from the original Jurassic Park. With all due respect, the work of these ladies plays an important role in preserving our culture. After saying goodbye to our morning guests, we began eagerly preparing for our evening reception with guest panelist Dr. Charmane Caldwell, Lakshmi Bhaskaran, Sondra W. Lee, P.E., and Janessa Sullivan. On behalf of SciGirls I, we would like to say thanks to our volunteer scientists who unselfishly donated their time and materials, the parents who entrusted us with such delicate and precious gems, to Carlos, Roxanne, and Kim who hold as much enthusiasm as the campers, and to the campers who persevered through 2 extreme but fun packed weeks. We hate for it to end, but hopefully......we'll "See You Again."!!!!!!!
