Twice during these holidays, 6 high school students and 2 university students came in for 4 hours each to work on their projects. It was amazing to have the physics lab abuzz with work. There were no distractions, no bells, no requests to go to the bathroom, no cell phones. Just some good classic rock and lots of creativity. All were surprised at how fast the time went. They were in a state of Flow. It was fun enough that they asked to do it again!!!

Having university students mentor the high school kids not only provided confidence that the high school kids were ready for what comes, but they also provided an area of expertise that I did not.
