Wrist is still unhappy and I am very done with that. Ah well. I'm trying to use my left hand for as much as possible, which makes for very slow and awkward track pad usage.
Here's some recent words from Good Intentions, though!
“Nope,” Chu Shuzhi said to the girl. He jerked his thumb away from the table. “Get lost, Becks.”
Ye Zun practically vibrated with interest while Zhao Yunlan looked genuinely uneasy. Chu Nianzhi’s smile had fallen and he leaned forward a bit to watch Zhao Yunlan out of the corner of his eye. Suddenly a witness to a type of drama he’d never experienced in such close proximity, Shen Wei felt lost in a storm. His eyes flew from Chu Shuzhi’s fist, clenched by his side, to the girl’s eyes, narrowed and frowning under long, blonde bangs.
“Oh come on, seriously?” she snapped, putting her hands on her hips. “It’s been months. You’re still mad about that?” She looked at Zhao Yunlan. “Well whatever.” She flipped her hair over her shoulders. “It’s good to see you finally applying yourself, Yunlan.” Zhao Yunlan kept his eyes on the table and the girl met Chu Shuzhi’s cold stare with a curled lip. “Fine. Be that way. See you around,” she said, and stalked off with her two friends in tow.
“Ugh,” groaned Zhao Yunlan, covering his face with his hands. “Is she gone?” he asked from behind them when Chu Shuzhi finally sat down.
“You have terrible taste in women,” Chu Shuzhi answered.
Important Request: Now that I've introduced all the main characters, I'm not sure where to go (I know the endgame, but everything in between is nonexistent). I have no experience with uh, classroom science in general much less what might activities/workshops they might have at a high school summer science camp. If anyone has suggestions, please throw them my way! I don't care what branch of STEM. I just need someone to suggest projects and experiments (as well as some of those things might go wrong/get sabotaged). If you're willing to throw some stuff at me in a DM I'd appreciate it. I'm at a standstill with the fic until I figure that out.
ETA: It occurs to me that mechanical engineering (seeing as how ZYL's gonna grow up to be a mechanic) or biology (to reference canon) might be best... things like "in high school we built an X and it did this" would be so much help! Alas, my math difficulties kept me out of all the advanced science classes so I'm at a complete loss here.

One thing I remember a biology class doing was dissecting a nonformaldihided cow heart then cooking and eating it.

Oh wow I would've loved to dissect non-preserved things! I was fascinated by the process but the smell of formaldehyde is one of the very few things that triggers my gag reflex. I spent those classes with one hand over my nose and the other other over my mouth, fighting tears from the nausea. It was a drag.

Dissecting frogs or piglets, we did that in biology. Chemistry... acid is always something that has accident or sabotage potential, although that might be too serious. There's experiments where you have to figure out what a substance is based on reactions from other substances.

Reading about people's science experiences in HS make me sad I got excluded from those programs for being so bad at math. Those all sound amazing tbh.

The egg project was from an AP class, so that might still work. My college physics classes were never so fun -- although chem in college we worked with dry ice, and after the actual experiment was done (i have no recollection of what it was) we would freeze food and eat it with the remains.
In my intro to electrical engineering course, we made "electric guitars"! We had to build a circuit that would take in sound and amplify it by a certain dB by building an amplifier circuit. We even went to the woodshop to carve out the box we'd use to string the guitar with. That was a fun project.

Not sure how fun you find that. :D
(I feel like there is ample opportunity for sabotage, especially if the robots are in some way open to a wlan - they usually are, so you can see what the code is doing from a station nearby.)
