BURLINGTON, Vt. -
This isn't your average sand castle competition. That's because these aren't your average kids. They represent some of the brightest scientific minds from high schools across the country -- 77 are from our region.

"It's really funny to compete with the other teams to see if we can get a better design and how theirs works and see if we can implement that in ours," said Conner Pike a student from Maryland.

The 94 aspiring engineers are participating in a week long camp run by the Governor's Institutes of Vermont. The latest challenge -- to build a stable sand arch.

Dr. Alan Betts knows you’ll probably skip this story on his study of Vermont climate change if he waxes scientifically about his nearly half-century of scholarship on meteorology and theoretical physics. That’s why he’s instead serving up weather-defying kale from his Pittsford garden.
