Recognition of Work Well Done
As the Kamp came to a close on Day 2, students were awarded Kurzweil Kamp Certificates of Completion. These certificates recognized the students hard work and attention throughout the two days. Proudly showing off their certificates are (left to right) Simone, Chance, and Harmony. Well done, you three!

Putting Our Kurzweil Knowledge to the Test
At the end of Day 2, the students took on the adult helpers in a rousing game of Kurzweil Jeopardy. Lining up on both sides of the room, the group faced off. Early in the game, the adults attempted to gain control by choosing the more challenging 50 point questions. This strategy was successful for the short term, but after stealing some points, the students surged ahead and it soon became clear that they were the ones in control.
During the final Jeopardy game, students looked to each other for answers. After a few minutes of collaborating, they had to give one group answer. After a few rounds, the students learned that the quiet members of the group often had the correct answer right away!
Despite the adult helpers keen concentration, the students worked together to answer more questions correctly and came out, in the end, victorious. The adult helpers were very gracious, noting that the students really did know the program inside and out – some even knew the answers for both the Macintosh and Windows versions!
