Classes 2012
Below is the list of various activities/events which took place at the camp
Semilabs
The semilabs (short for Seminar/Lab) were the core of the scientific program in SigmaCamp. Each SemiLab was was running for four days, and each camper had to choose one SemiLab to attend throughout the camp --- unlike with the lectures, you couldn't take different SemiLabs on different days.
- Knots and Braids
- Codes and Ciphers
- Electromagnetism Made Simple
- Buoyancy and Archimedes law
- Genes and how They Work
- Life in a Drop of Water
- Chemistry of Photography
- Fire Chemistry
Lectures
Every day, the students had 2 lectures (to be precise, every day we had two pairs of lectures running simultaneously - every student had to choose one in each pair). The lectures were given by scientists -- professors of Stony Brook University, Brookhaven Naional Lab, and other institutions.
