Students Swing Into Fun at the AEC
Tuesday, July 17th 2007

Teamwork and problem solving were at the forefront today, as students worked together to overcome numerous challenges and puzzles presented at the Outdoor Adventure Education Center (AEC). Students were divided into two groups and took to the ropes course for some highflying fun in the morning. There they were challenged to go outside of their comfort zone and attempt to complete the course that had students suspended over 30 feet above the ground! Shortly after the ropes course students set about the task of completing various team-building exercises. After a long day of fun in the sun the students were brought back to their dorms for an evening of rest, relaxation, and tie dying shirts!

We have some great new content planned for you over the next few days in the form of a video blog update, as well as a gallery chalk full of the students' exploits over the past few days. Please check back with us often for the latest information and media covering OSC's Summer Institute 2007!

Over the next two weeks we will be updating the site with information about the latest happenings at SI07, including pictures and video of the student's activities and events.

We have some exciting events planned for the students of SI 2007, including trips to Byrd Polar Research, the Center for Automotive Research (CAR), and also a ropes course at the Outdoor Adventure Education Center (AEC).

During the student's stay at SI07 they will be engaged in a task oriented learning experience in which they will be grouped according to their interests to achieve a common goal. This year's projects include:

• Kinetic and Statistical Descriptions of Matter
  
• Molecular Dynamics of the Bird Flu Virus
  
• Network Forensics
  
• Retro SI Progamming
  
• Game Programming and Motion Capture
