We received 75 student names, 60 of whom were cleared for Registration. Of those, 55 students actually arrived at check-in on Thursday, July 11. We hired five certified teachers; one bowed out a few days before with COVID-19 symptoms. Five amazing college interns from Kutztown University, Cornell University, and Drexel University worked with the students during our three-and-a-half-day adventure as we “Searched for Life on Mars.”
Over 20 District 7430 Rotary Clubs sent students, and 46 District 7430 Rotarians did not let the high temperature stop them from walking the students across campus or assisting with check-in and check-out.
Our thanks to each of you who participated in this fantastic event. You have touched the future by working with these young scientists.
Pictured are the volunteers on Sunday who helped with the final additions to the projects, cleaning the dorms and preparing for the Celebration Dinner.
