One of Pikeville College's most popular activities is the annual Science & Math Day Camp. It is held each summer for middle school students entering grades 5 through 8. The weeklong event stimulates students' interest in math and science by introducing them to a number of hands-on activities. In the past, students have dissected sharks, launched rockets, and produced slime -- to name a few of the fun activities.
· Additional Science and Math Day Camp 2000 - 2009 photos can be viewed on Alan and Nancy Kuehner's web page. The Kuehner's have taught the physics section of the Science and Math Day Camp for the past nine years!!
Camp 2009 allowed our students to learn about binary numbers and computer imaging. The "binary number flash cards" computer program can be downloaded by clicking HERE (1 Mb Zip file). In addition, the following two links contain related computer science activities:
