Recap of Last Week

Hello Families and Friends of BHSSC,

We are proud to announce that week 1 of camp went exactly as planned, totally awesome. The campers had a very educational and experiential week as they traveled to Nahant to learn about the ecosystem and met two ASTRONAUTS in one day (Dr. Harris and Al Sacco)! It was a very exciting experience to watch everyone's face light up when Dr. Harris told his stories about using the potty in space! We hope that you've enjoyed our updates so far and we'll be sure to flood you with more entertaining post and pictures. We also had four birthdays last week! The students had cake in the cafeteria to celebrate the births of future scientists! Here are some very memorbale pictures from lastweek!

More Pictures from Day 3!!!!!

As mentioned previosuly yesterday the campers leaped into the world of nanotechnology !We wanted to show you how cool the campers looked in their googles and gloves. Below are more pictures from the activities of the day 3!

Afternoon Update

Good afternoon parents! Today the students jumped into the world of nanotechnology :)

Campers took a relaxing walk over to Berakhis Center to conduct an experiment where they got to make gold particles. They used a pipette to transfer solutions such as sodium chloride (table salt) and sodium hydroxide (in contact saline solution) into a flask, and then observed the change in color. Everyone enjoyed getting to be a chemist for a day. They even looked the part in their goggles and gloves.

While they weren't making gold particles campers got to play video games. Don't worry! The game was educational. Campers got to follow the adventures of a nano-sized adventurer named Harold in the video game Geckoman. Geckoman primarily teaches students about the NanoWorld with its main character Harold along with the big bad sheriff. Harold is shrunk down to nanoscale and through adhesion, is able to walk on the ceiling.

The students had an extra bit a fun today meeting 3 former members of Negro League Baseball. They attended an event called Legends of Negro League Baseball. The campers heard from the President and Board Member of Negro League Baseball Players Association. They got to ask question and take pictures and had an absolute blast!

Below is a link to some pictures and stay tuned for a few more later in the evening.

Day 2!!

Today the students got a workout with some fun outdoor games and stretches. Then they made their way to the computer lab to expand their knowledge of bridges. Each camper got to run a bridge simulation. They even competed to see who could build a strong bridge for the least amount of money! All in all they had a blast and tonight they get to call home.

Enjoy the photos! :D

Special thanks to our wonderful campers and staff for making the activities delightful! Below are pictures from some activities that the campers participated in today. Those activites included Case Scenarios (Intro To Engineering) and Design Process/Vista Bridge Building where the campers were actually able to construct bridges! Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoyed today!
