DS7 tried MASA for the first time today and my son really enjoyed himself. They learned about rocketry and forensics. I was thrilled to learn at the drop off that they had a mentor working with the kids today who was a police officer that worked on the forensics team and was also an undercover cop for many years...so he taught them all about fingerprinting, how to solve mysteries through science. My son was totally fascinated and came home with his fingerprints done along with guide sheets talking about whorls, tented arches, double loop whorls...and he proceeded to give us a whole lesson on DNA and fingerprinting.
Everyone was very nice and the person talking at the drop off said all the teachers are gifted endorsed and are gifted teachers in the area so that was nice to know. She said they were going to be offering a summer camp as well and the kids would rotate around different topics.
We are signed up for HatterDays in February so I am curious how he compares the two of them.
