[00:00:01.357]There. Geez.
[00:00:02.607]Really nice peak isn't it?
[00:00:04.647]There's a lot more technology and different approaches
[00:00:07.489]to science that I hadn't even heard of
[00:00:08.800]until I came to this camp.
[00:00:10.819]Yeah.
[00:00:13.057]You learn a whole lot of stuff
[00:00:14.271]and then you get the college experience.
[00:00:16.244]If you go out of your comfort zone,
[00:00:18.182]like you don't know what you could find.
[00:00:19.644]You could find something that excites you
[00:00:21.284]more than anything you're doing already.
[00:00:23.084]We are doing electrochemistry.
[00:00:26.092]This is actually a spectrometer.
[00:00:29.414]We're making some microscopes.
[00:00:31.031]This was day two (mumbles) and what we did.
[00:00:34.278]I had previously gone to
[00:00:37.907]a couple of YNS camps when I was a kid
[00:00:40.132]and I decided to come back and be a camp counselor,
[00:00:43.660]give it a shot and that's how it all got started for me.
[00:00:46.630]The idea is to just basically give them the experience
[00:00:50.318]and the knowledge.
[00:00:51.732]Maybe you could find your future career.
[00:00:54.410]Hi there.
[00:00:56.661]This is a (mumbles) tube.
[00:00:58.648]It's a molecular structure tube
[00:01:00.619]that's made of carbon atom that is chemically connected
[00:01:03.150]to three other carbon atoms.
[00:01:04.910]We had to collaborate and like work together
[00:01:08.326]in order to make the whole thing this big.
[00:01:12.528]It's also a good way to get to know other people
[00:01:15.368]and just have a good time.
[00:01:17.248]It's a safe haven for other nerds like me.
[00:01:21.017]We went to the UNL challenge course.
[00:01:23.113]It was like a 50 foot tower that we climbed.
[00:01:25.492]We climbed a rock wall.
[00:01:27.609]We watched a few movies and also some of the counselors
[00:01:30.441]are just really, really awesome.
[00:01:32.721]It's very important to see the things that you can do
[00:01:35.011]and get more hands on experience.
[00:01:36.692]I think I'm fairly prepared more than others
[00:01:38.943]that haven't done this camp to go into college.
[00:01:41.924]Just get a head start and get where you need to be.
[00:01:45.764](funky upbeat music)
