Although I am truly bummed that I am missing an opportunity to collaborate with so many great educators at this year’s FlipCon 2012 in Chicago this week, I am having an AMAZING time hosting the first annual STEM camp at Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory (SHCP), the high school where I teach Chemistry.
