Special Relativity was an amazing class, taught by a great teacher who both opened my mind to the theories of physics and taught me to think in a different way than I had ever before. There were many mind blowing moments. Ben Kolligs, Special Relativity student, Spring 2011 QuantumCamp did one thing that really amazed me more than anything else. It walked me through the ways scientists in the 1800s figured out many of the things that I had assumed were just math. It establishes key fundamentals of physics and leads the way to a true understanding of quantum physics. Ryan and Michael have hit upon a simple, elegant, and intuitive way of teaching advanced physics to kids. They use amazing equipment and set up experiments simple enough that they don't require much mathematical know-how. All it requires is a basic understanding of the simplest parts of algebra, and even that isn't too important until the end. I can't recommend this camp highly enough for kids interested in physics. Jack Gallagher, QuantumCamp student, Summer 2010 We enrolled the kids in ChemCamp because a college-prep high school transcript should include lab-based chemistry, and because we liked the idea of the historically- and lab-based discovery approach. Much to our delight, the kids now say that Chemistry is one of their favorite subjects! We are looking forward to their next QuantumCamp class! Donna, mother from Livermore, February 20 2011 The QuantumCamp provides a fun and engaging experience that helped me discover and understand key scientific concepts. Drew, ChemCamp student, fall 2010 I highly recommend AEGs. It is great when you get to create your own curriculum -- and then do it. In my AEG, I asked questions that I had been wondering about and that would get me closer to my goal of understanding the fundamentals of acids, and then Michael helped me design experiments to answer or address them -- the scientific method in action!! I got to do experiments that I had been wanting to do for a long time. I now know a huge amount more about the topic that I chose (acid-metal reactions) than I did before. I had a great time, learned a lot, and I wish that more kids had this great opportunity. Yannai S. Kashtan, December 16, 2010 After taking the first QuantumCamp I felt much more confident in not only coming to logical conclusions on my own, but also dealing with science in general. I am looking forward to enrolling in QuantumCamp 2. former student Every day I picked up my happy, enthusiastic and plugged-in teen-aged son from QuantumCamp. Every day built on the last....it just got better and better! We have traveled around the country taking classes and QC is in a league of its own in our humble opinion. Everything about our experience was well worth every mile. We look forward to QC2 and beyond.My deepest gratitude to both of you!
