9:00-9:15 AM Welcome to Camp!
co-founder of New Mexico School for the Arts (NMSA), a statewide, residential, public high school for the performing and visual arts. Now serving 330 students, the school opened its doors for the first time in 2010 with 127 students. A charter school with a private partner, NMSA-Art Institute, is committed to providing access to pre-professional arts training and college-readiness academics to students who might not otherwise have the opportunity to access mastery arts training. Cindy started as the School’s Head of School. In 2016, she became President of the Art Institute overseeing fundraising, community and legislative partnerships, and art programs. She brings over 25 years of experience in education, both in high-performing and struggling schools

Magnets! Magnets! And more magnets!! We will investigate the basic properties of magnets, how magnetism and electricity are related, and what fun things we can do with magnets through a series of hands-on builds. We will make our own compass, flashlight, and together see how we can convert electromagnetic energy into mechanical forces with a pulsed magnetic field launcher.

9:15-10:00 PM "Materials science: from atomic structures to growing crystals! "
In this session, we will discuss elements, bonding, and crystal structures. We will also learn about how crystals are grown in the lab! In the first hands-on activity, we will build our own crystal structures. In the second part, we will discuss how very small distances in crystals are measured experimentally. We will also measure the thickness of our hair!

Priscila is a mid-career scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory. She was born in Brazil, where she received her PhD in Physics. She then moved to the US to pursue a career in science. She is fascinated about materials science, and in particular how elements come together to make beautiful crystals, which display fascinating behavior that may lead to energy applications.
Caitlin is a post doc at Los Alamos National Laboratory. After leaving her home state of Florida with bachelors degrees in Civil Engineering and Physics, she completed a PhD in Physics in Illinois. Her passion for understanding how things work has led her to the field of condensed matter physics where she continues to investigate how scattering light and particles off of materials can reveal their structure and properties.
I work at LANL with Actinide Analytical Chemistry group (C-AAC) as a Research Technician. C-AAC provides expertise in chemical and radiochemical analysis of materials where actinide elements make up a significant portion of the sample. I work in Wing-9 at CMR and I’m on the Material Disposition team.
I enjoy volunteering with LANL in the community and with my church. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family which include my husband and four amazing kids. We like to travel, shop and bake.

In this activity we will build a circuit using electronic components on a small breadboard to make a proximity sensor. We will use a transmitter of infrared light which will be reflected off a nearby object and be received or "sensed" by the photodiode. When the amount of light incident on the receiver is higher than the set point the colored LED turns ON!

It's a jupyter notebook file. There are many ways to use it. In the workshop today we used a platform called jupyterlite: https://jupyterlite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Several other online platforms are listed here: https://mljar.com/blog/jupyter-notebook-online/
But you can also download anaconda python (https://www.anaconda.com/) to your local computer, and it will come with jupyter notebooks installed. This means that you'd be able to run a program without needing to be connected to the internet.

Scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory
1. Newton’s First Law of Motion (Inertia)
An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
2. Newton’s Second Law of Motion (Force)
The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.
3. Newton’s Third Law of Motion (Action & Reaction)
Whenever one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first.

Ning Xu is a chemist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. She has spent almost two decades working on plutonium analysis. She just got back from a three-year assignment to the DOE/NNSA headquarters to serve as a technical advisor for the Office of International Nuclear Safeguards. She will also work on nuclear forensics next.
"Xu is widely recognized at Los Alamos and by the New Mexico Section of the American Chemical Society (ACS) for her dedication to students and mentoring. The ACS recognition acknowledged her for inspiring the next generation of scientists to pursue STEM careers through chemistry education outreach and for outstanding leadership of the ACS Central New Mexico Local Section. This award is particularly competitive, and Xu becomes only the eighth individual from Los Alamos to become an ACS Fellow since the program was founded in 2008."
