Our First Week @ Oakland :)

This week we had some fantastic boys and girls excited to learn about Anatomy and Surgical Techniques, and Java Programming.  Below are some great pics and summaries of what has happened this week.

Java Programming:

Here Siddarth and CJ are working hard together to make the program run.

Here are some pictures of our programmers hard at work.  Michael and CJ had to remove their crazy hats so they can focus on the task at hand.  When this was taken, students had to design a program to add 3 numbers together.

Here Michael and Michael are working on a project assigned by their instructor.  The project during this picture was to design a tip calculator.  Who doesn't need a tip calculator?

Anatomy + Surgical Techniques:

Here camper Bella and counselor Josh were practicing their steady hands stitching a banana back together.  

Here is our 3 campers Bella, Jane, and Zoe showing the banana after surgery.  I am happy to report our patients Bo and Tom will recover well thanks to the steady hand of our future doctors. 

Here are 3 campers Jane, Bella, and Zoe are showing off both their anatomy and coloring skills for some awesome brain hats.

The highlight for the girls this week was performing dissections.  They examined both frogs and in these pictures were looking at actual sheep brains.  The girls showed great enthusiasm and concentration in taking apart the delicate pieces.  

Special Events:

Wednesday was our Wet Day for the week.  The Dunk Tank was setup and boy was it put to good use.  Above you will see one of the victims Michael awaiting his fate, and below and beautiful action shot of another camper named Michael.  

Thursday was crazy hat day and boy it was crazy.  We had 2 girls use the brains they made earlier in class, a few holiday inspired hats, and a few gentleman whose hats were so big it covered their faces.
