Elementary school campers use the Kitchen Science Investigators (KSI) project while the middle school campers use Hovercraft.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EKSI focuses on how elementary and middle school students learn Science through cooking and the computer software to support this environment. KSI research is supported through NASA\u2019s Space Telescope Science Institute and the College of Computing at Georgia Tech. In the context of designing and building a variety of hovercraft, middle school\u00a0participants\u00a0learn the essentials of engineering design and the physics that keep hovercraft aloft and moving. Cutting-edge experimental educational software is used to aid Hovercraft\u0027s design and physics learning, and is also supported by the College of Computing at Georgia Tech.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ECEISMC \u2018s summer camp started June 19 and will end on July 28.
