Inquiry and Nature of Science events:
Codebusters - Teams will cryptanalyze and decode encrypted messages using cryptanalysis techniques for historical and modern advanced ciphers.
Experimental Design - This event will determine the participant’s ability to design, conduct, and report the findings of an experiment entirely on-site.
Fermi Questions - Participants provide answers to a series of “Fermi Questions”; science-related questions that seek fast, rough estimates of a quantity, which is either difficult or impossible to measure directly.
Write It Do It - One participant will write a description of an object and how to build it. The other participant will attempt to construct the object from this description.
