TSA Solar Car Summer Camp
TSA chapter advisor, Gunnar Thomason, of Stevens Middle School (Washington), held a two week TSA Solar Car Summer Camp this past summer. He had twenty-three students participate in the camp and used safety protocols due to the pandemic situation. A few tips:
- He used the TSA/JSS eight-week syllabus as his scope and sequence.
- Each student had his or her own physical engineering notebook with the TSA/JSS guidelines as an addendum.
- Each student had their own bin of materials/supplies and small tools that they put away at the end of the day. They could take home their engineering notebook to do research, sketches, etc. however, brought them back each day.
Mr. Thomason added, “The students had a blast and it was a much needed break from being isolated at home. They are all excited to be a part of TSA this coming year.”
