| American Civil War Experience |
Are you interested in the history of the United States? Do you enjoy visiting and exploring American Civil War Battlefields? Can you take a digital photograph? Can you operate a computer? If you answered yes to these four questions, join us for the American Civil War Experience. We will visit the Antietam National Battlefield in Sharpsburg, Maryland, the Maryland Historical Society, Fort McHenry and the Gettysburg National Military Park in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Each of these trips will be extended day trips and the campers will get the chance to explore each battlefield / visitor center/museum, complete a Civil War Scavenger Hunt and take digital pictures for their camp digital portfolio. Next, we will explore and demonstrate the firing distance of American Civil War weapons by using sports equipment. In addition, living historians will be invited to come speak to the campers at the battlefields and Harford Community College. Finally, the essential topic of preserving the American Civil War Battlefields will also be discussed with the campers.

| Brain-Computer Interaction |
As scientists and researchers continue to reveal the mysteries of the brain, their progress has opened the door to the exciting new field of Brain-Computer Interaction technologies (BCIs). In a BCI, brain activity is recorded in real-time and rapidly translated to provide new information and new functionality to its user. To date, applications of BCIs can be found in prosthetics, rehabilitation and therapy, occupational safety, and even in gaming and entertainment; however, this is only the tip of the iceberg as new applications are constantly being investigated and developed. While the future of BCIs looks bright, many challenges still face emerging BCI technologies. These include improving the technologies used to record brain signals as well as improving the ways those signals are analyzed and interpreted. Finding solutions to these puzzles is a primary focus of this field and the keys to translating a century of neuroscience research into new tools and technologies that improve everyday life. In this week-long session, we will discuss the current state of the art and future potential for neurotechnologies and BCI. We will also introduce students to basic electroencephalography (EEG).

| Bubbly Engineering Adventures |
THIS OFFERING IS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION (SAIC). This exciting summer camp will engage elementary children in the engineering design process. The Engineering Adventures (EA) curriculum was designed by the Engineering is Elementary (EiE) team within the Museum of Science, Boston. Children entering 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades will learn the EA unit, "Bubble Bonanza: Designing Bubble Makers", which explore how bubbles behave and investigate properties of materials they can use to create bubble makers. Camp participants in this session will not only engage in the EA unit, ultimately creating a solution to the design challenge that they can take home, but will also take home two related trade books to extend their science/engineering learning at home. Students will also get the opportunity to meet real engineers working in the field and gain a better understanding of what it is to be an engineer.
