Engineering
By Justin Blackburn



Here at Durham Academy summer camp, it is kind of like school only a lot more fun. It is for a five week period, and there are 4 periods per day. And there are also 2 blocks per day. And each person had a seminar that he or she went to daily for the first two weeks. There was Weather, Marine Mammals, Engineering, Water Quality,
In my seminar, Engineering, we had to build a boomilever.

If you don't know what a boomilever is, please visit either one of the sites below, which will tell you most of what you need to know about it, or look at my design below for a basic idea of what a boomilever looks like.
