    Science & Math Interactive Learning Experience


    Enriching and Inspiring Academic and Intellectual Students

    2015-2016
    What is SMILE?
    An unequaled S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Mathematics) experience where the emphasis
    is on hands-on experience. Campers actively learn and create in a collaborative, highly interactive laboratory
    environment mentored by college students and classroom teachers.

    Science:

    We use Materials Science experiments and analytical equipment as the medium to explore the underlying principles
    of science, engineering, design, physics, and chemistry.

    Math:

    Students become familiar with numbers, structures, equations, and develop a sense of scale as we explore advanced
    materials phenomena from the Mega scale down to the Micro and Nano.

    Interactive:

    Small groups of 3 4 campers per mentor create a safe and highly interactive environment. The campers carry
    out the experiments, drive the electron microscopes, and operate the analytical equipment while interacting with mentors,
    engineers, scientists and fellow campers.

    Learning:

    Campers learn by doing. They perform experiments not available in a regular school setting. The goal is to expose
    these students to what happens beyond the classroom, encouraging them not only to have greater interest in the curriculum
    that they receive at school but also to go above and beyond. With fun, hands-on experiments, we open up each campers
    mind to exciting real-world applications of science, math, technology and engineering that they do not see elsewhere.

    Experiences:

    We do really cool stuff! These are experiments that normally only college students would have access to. In
    addition, the campers have an opportunity to meet, interact, and develop friendships with students and mentors like
    themselves. Campers will be creating, designing, building, growing, and bringing home what they create.
