Geometry students gave their first group presentations of the year in math class a couple of weeks ago. They took twenty pictures of examples of our geometry vocabulary in the world around them and then shared these pictures with the class. They did a great job. It’s fun to see the geometry that is all around us and to see what types of things catch other people’s eyes.

APES Scientific Evidence Critique
MST Students in Mrs. Dean’s APES class spent part of this week learning and practicing how to critique their ability and their peers’ ability to find scientific evidence in support or in rejection of a claim found in the media. Nice work, APES!

Washington Aerospace Scholars
Washington Aerospace Scholars (WAS) is seeking high school juniors who wish to kick start their STEM careers and earn college credit!
In WAS, students earn college credit by completing online curriculum that focuses on space travel. By completing the online program, students may earn acceptance into a week-long Summer Residency at The Museum of Flight where they will work with professional mentors to plan a mission to Mars, tour engineering facilities, and compete in hands-on engineering challenges. Teachers are also encouraged to apply as evaluators and summer residency facilitators.
Applications for the 2016-17 session of WAS are available now at museumofflight.org/WAS and due by November 4, 2016.

Freshmen Orientation 2016
On Tuesday, August 30th, the Magnet staff and upperclassmen welcomed the incoming class of “Magnetos” with an orientation. As usual, we ran the students through some icebreakers and six different “Olympic” challenges, from the 3 Legged Race to the Over/Under Water Relay, as well as taking care of some basic first week logistics. We capped the night off with a BBQ for the families and students. Kudos to this year’s Magnet Olympics champions, the Green Team, made up of Hannah, Mackenzie, Aanya, Elizabeth, and Rhianna. Welcome, Magnet class of 2020!

Symposium 2016
We convened the entire MST Magnet program here at CHS on Wednesday night, grades 9-12, staff, parents, family, friends, and even a couple of graduates, to celebrate and showcase the year’s project study. It was an impressive showing that began with a fair in the Commons, followed by formal presentations in the North Commons (after we gave up trying to get the technology in the theater to work).
We heard from the following student presenters:
- A team anchored by juniors Calvin Taylor and Phoebus Tsai and supported by sophomores Gabe Mukobi and Duy Vuong shared the work they did on their Riffling Thermal Pollution project. By the way, they recently earned a second place in the Build Environment challenge category at the WSU Imagine Tomorrow Competition for this work.
- Seniors Carly Langer and Casey Tolcser shared their internship experience conducted at Reed College centered on research about enhancing the growth and maturation of zebrafish larvae.
- And senior Anna Roche spoke on her internship at WSUV, as well as her recent trip to ISEF earlier this month.
Excellent work with your projects this year, Magnetos. And a hearty congratulations to the seniors as they close this chapter in their lives and begin a new one. Best of luck in your studies as you join other Magnetos and Papermakers studying across the world to realize their dreams.
Cheers!

WSU Pullman Imagine Tomorrow 2016 Results
Camas High School’s MST program made the annual sojourn to the WSU Imagine Tomorrow competition this past weekend with a select group of 8 projects from this year’s crop of student project work. The results were impressive. Out of approximately 135 projects submitted from about 35 schools from across Washington and Idaho, four of our projects earned recognition, with Camas kids taking home a 1st, 2nd, and two Honorable Mention awards! Congratulations to all who won awards, but I’d also like to offer kudos to each team for qualifying and representing Camas with pride and integrity. Bravo!
Here are the results:
- Sophomore Sarah Wells-Moran took home a first place for her Building a Living (Outer) Space project that was submitted in the Boeing Aerospace challenge category.
- A team anchored by juniors Calvin Taylor and Phoebus Tsai and supported by sophomores Gabe Mukobi and Duy Vuong earned a second place in the Build Environment challenge category for their Riffling Thermal Pollution project.
- Also in the Build Environment challenge category, a freshmen team made of Quan Ho, Sydney Jenkins, Yuanju Tsai, Eric Wu, and Christopher Xia got an Honorable Mention for their Unlocking the Wind’s Potential with Creativity project.
- Freshmen Monica Chang and Jessica Bretz also earned an Honorable Mention in the Food, Energy, and Water category for their project titled Measuring Ecotoxicity: The Effects of Triclosan on Aquatic Organisms.
If you’re not familiar with this science fair and competition, here’s an excerpt from their website: “Imagine Tomorrow challenges 9th through 12th graders to seek new ways to support the transition to alternative energy sources. Students research complex topics related to renewable energy, then innovate technologies, designs, or plans to mobilize behavior. They forge connections in their communities and create positive change. In this energy competition, as in life, solutions are limited only by imagination.”
