We move from Albert Einstein&#8217;s idea of quantization and end up seeing the hydrogen spectrum while contemplating the ideas of Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg.<br \/>\nWe witness the explosive beauty and inner order of the elements which begs for deeper investigation.  We dive in and immerse ourselves in a world where quantum logic guides us to an understanding of the quantum nature of the universe.<br \/>\nStudents entering grades 7th &#8211; 12th can enroll. These activities are designed for students who plan to choose a career in science and those who have an insatiable desire to find their connection in this Universe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A cool idea, I think.

But I got to see a Mac fry, and they let me program in Pascal which was kind of cool.
