Please provide written responses for the following questions:
What was your favorite part of camp?


What was your least favorite part of the camp?


What suggestions would you make to improve the camp experiments and activities in the future


Are there engineering and computer related topics besides robotics, programming and design that would be of interest to you in a summer camp-style activity?


Did you learn what you expected? Do you have any other comments or suggestions regarding your experience at camp?


Would you like to be contacted about school year activities, nest year's camp, or any of your comments? If so please provide your name and an email address or phone number.


Now that you have been to camp, what do you think 'Computer Science' really is? Do you have a better understanding of Computer Science and Engineering as a result of the camp?


THE STUDY OF COMPUTER SCIENCE OR ENGINEERING
To the left of each statement indicate whether you Strongly Disagree, Slightly Disagree, Neither Disagree nor Agree, Slightly Agree, Agree, Strongly Agree, or Don't Know by circling the appropriate number.

To the right of each statement circle the appropriate number to indicate whether the statement is Very Unimportant, Unimportant, Neither Important nor Unimportant, Important, or Very Important to you in terms of completing an engineering program.

To what extent do you AGREE?		How IMPORTANT is this?
0 = Strongly Disagree		0 = Very unimportant

Personal Attributes
Directions: The items below inquire about what kind of person you think you are. Each item consists of a PAIR of characteristics, with the letters A-E in between. For example:

Not at all artistic   A......B......C......D......E Very artistic

Each pair describes contradictory characteristics - that is, you cannot be both at the same time, such as very artistic and not at all artistic.

The letters form a scale between the two extremes. You are to choose a letter which describes where YOU fall on the scale. For example, if you think that you have no artistic ability, you would choose A. If you think that you are pretty good, you might choose D. If you are only medium, you might choose C, and so forth.
