eScience Interns Bring Science to City Kids Camp

This year, as part of the 2014 Summer Community Outreach Program, five interns packed into a car on a road trip to Wyoming.  In collaboration with the City Kids camp, the interns had the chance to share many of the experiments that eScience produces with City Kids campers. City Kids is a camp that offers kids from vulnerable locations in Washington D.C. an opportunity to go to Wyoming, where campers learn critical skills which allow them to succeed outside of a typical classroom setting.

This week eScience interns took science on the road! Eight interns went to Warren Village, a transitional housing program that helps low income single parents acquire the life skills to achieve self-sufficiency. While parents took night classes, eScience interns partnered with kids to extract DNA from bananas, have a rocket launching competition, test buoyancy by engineering their own boats, and even explore geology by observing crystallization processes.
