There were also plenty of opportunities for fun, with games (the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.setgame.com\/set\" target=\"_blank\">SET card game<\/a> was a big hit), barbecues, pool parties, and what has now become an annual pilgrimage to see the famous <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/grsm\/naturescience\/fireflies.htm\" target=\"_blank\">synchronous fireflies<\/a> in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The program continues this week with more programming instruction, an intro to 3D-printing, information on national scholarship opportunities, and a picnic and hike in the Smokies this weekend!
