EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING This year Interim Week was very successful. Two trips highlighted the programs offered, including one to London and one to Washing- ton. Other programs included: COMPUTER: Students were involved in learn- ing in general how a computer works, and specifically the operation of our system at NSCDS and programming in the Basic Lan- guage. A number of the advanced students were admitted on the assumption that they would assume some of the teaching responsi- bilities. FILM MAKING: This was a study, and an opportunity for each student to make a film. The group studied some stu- dent and professional films, learned some basic techniques and tricks for special effects, and shot a three minute film. The group processed, edited, and added titles and sound to their films, and presented them in Morning Ex. HANDICAPPED LIVING: The group participated in the introduction of recreational programs to handicapped persons in an attempt to (1) better understand the nature of the handicap (whether physical, emotional, or mental) and (2) to afford a group experience in sport with those whom they might not have otherwise shared such an exper- ience with. LONDON THEATRE TRIP: As well as attending several theatre productions in London, students visited many of the famous historical landmarks in that great city — St. Pauls, The Tower, Buckingham Palace, and Westminster Abbey, among others. Tours were tak- en to Oxford University and Stratford-on-Avon, and to Windsor Castle. GRASSROOTS POLITICS: Students worked for the political candidates of their own choosing.
