FROM THE CO-FOUNDERS Dear Friends and Partners of BETA, Can you believe it?! We’ve made it to year seven (7) and if that’s not worth celebrating then we’re not sure what is! But what an amazing feat for the entire BETA team. From 2014 to now we have impacted over 350 Bahamian students across the diaspora, hosted camps on 2 of our most populated islands, hosted our first Hackathon and grew our amazing team from 7 to 20. Not to mention the fact that our leadership team within BETA has mentored many of the students who have attended BETA Camp and now have went on to college to pursue degrees and ultimately careers in the field of engineering. Nikeitra Barbes, Liam Mason, Jade Knowles, Tyler Adderley, Kenrick Stubbs, Justyn Sweeting, William Moss, Solange Allen, and Nadege Charlton just to name a few. The successes have been many, and we have so much to be grateful for, especially our partners and sponsors who come alongside us each year to invest in the vision of what BETA is building and share in the successes that we achieve as an organization. We highly value collaboration with external partners and private/government entities to realize the mission of BETA and this year is no different. As many are aware, Hurricane Dorian swept through our nation in September 2019 and left many of us devastated and bewildered. The level of damage was unprecedented and the loss of life unimaginable for a small island nation such as ours. Yet, we press on as a people and work to regain a sense of normalcy as well as rebuild what remains. However, in the wake of the devastation it is imperative that we not only rebuild but we re-evaluate various aspects of our country which include our infrastructure, our economy and even our education in terms of how we adapt, prepare and mitigate the effects of climate change. This year’s theme is NET ZERO: Building a Sustainable and Resilient Bahamas. This couldn’t be more apropos! Additionally, for the first time ever the camp will be two entire weeks! Our team is both excited and equipped to engage with our young minds as we prepare for the best BETA Camp of all time! Better yet, the best STEM Camp across the entire Caribbean! This year’s camp will take place in Nassau, Bahamas in partnership with the University of the Bahamas. Another venture we are truly excited to undertake. This proposal will highlight plans for this year’s camp as well as look at our previous achievements from the 2019 BETA Camp. 2020 is the year of vision and from the looks of it we see you in our future! Can you see us in yours?! We hope so and do believe that the following pages will provide the impetus for BETA Camp to be apart of your vision if it isn’t already! The future awaits we look forward to sharing it with you! SEE you at BETA Camp 2020! Sincerely,
Trenicka K. Dukes, M.Sc.

ABOUT BETA History BETA as an organization was co-founded by engineers Trenicka Rolle and D’André Wilson-Ihejirika in March 2014. They had both been involved in organizing engineering outreach programs in the US and Canada, respectively, and were looking to make a similar impact at home. When the two realized that their passions and interest aligned, they immediately decided to take action. D’André and Trenicka then worked to recruit other Bahamian engineers and likeminded individuals to join their team. Collectively the BETA team is comprised of individuals who are deeply passionate about BETA for several reasons. Firstly, they realized it was only by chance that they entered into engineering because the exposure to it was lacking throughout their primary and secondary education. Secondly, they all love what they do as engineers realizing that engineering in tandem with innovation is constantly changing the world around us for the better. Lastly, many of them have been involved in engineering outreach programs outside of the Bahamas and know that this sort of programming can increase the number of individuals graduating with engineering degrees and entering the workforce both at home and globally. With these tenants in mind the inaugural BETA Camp was launched in July 2014.
Mission The BETA team’s mission is to use technical expertise to inspire and improve the Bahamas through a series of collaborative efforts that will strengthen STEM education across the nation, create opportunities for engineers and address vital infrastructure issues on our Bahama Islands.
Vision The BETA team seeks to create a future where Bahamians are technically equipped to compete in a global market.
“A vision is not just a picture of what could be; it is an appeal to our better selves, a call to become something more.” “Change is disturbing when it is done to us, exhilarating when it is done by us” ― Rosabeth M. Kanter

2019 BETA CAMP RECAP The 2019 BETA Camp was held in Nassau at Aquinas College under the theme Cruise Control: Innovating the Bahamian Maritime Industry�. This year’s theme was chosen due to recent developments in the maritime industry surrounding port inspection failures in Abaco, to redevelopment of the Nassau Port and development of new ports in Grand Bahama by Carnival Cruise Lines. Our greatest resource as a country is the water that surrounds our islands providing passageway to the Americas, a home for an innumerable expanse of sea life and a key staple to the Bahamian diet. Our ability to better utilize and preserve the health of our oceans is heavily tied to both our livelihood and economy. The camp offered a full week of project based, hands-on and investigative learning helping students to develop and enhance their critical thinking, problem solving, analytical and teamwork skills that would transcend the closure of the camp.

2020 BETA CAMP OVERVIEW The 2020 BETA Camp will be our 7th annual engineering and technology summer camp under the theme “NET ZERO: Building a Sustainable and Resilient Bahamas.” As we begin to think of the future of our country and the world at large we must think about educating current generations on building in a way that will preserve, protect and advance our nation for generations to come. Inevitably, we must reduce our carbon footprint. In September of 2019 Hurricane Dorian ripped through the Northern Bahamas as a Category 5 storm. The amount of damage was insurmountable totalling up to $4.68 billion dollars with 84 recorded fatalities. This storm made history for the country and many of the students from previous BETA Camps that lived on the islands of Grand Bahama and Abaco had lost everything. As a country we are still grappling with the loss and recovery efforts are still underway some six (6) months later. and as our country we are still grappling with the loss and recovery efforts continue. As a result, the theme of this year’s camp enables us to look forward as we rebuild and consider how do we prevent, mitigate and protect our environment in light of climate change and natural disasters. According to the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory the classification for a Net Zero Energy Building and consequently overall design goals is defined by the four following:
NET-ZERO SITE ENERGY Net-Zero Site Energy – A building that produces at least as much energy as it uses in a year, when accounted for at the site. The measurement time frame is annual.
NET-ZERO SOURCE ENERGY Net-Zero Source Energy – A building that produces at least as much energy as it uses in a year, when accounted for at the source. “Source energy” refers to the primary energy required to generate and deliver the energy to the site. To calculate a building’s total source energy, imported and exported energy is multiplied by the appropriate site-to-source conversion multipliers.
NET-ZERO ENERGY COSTS Net-Zero Energy Costs – A building where the amount of money a utility pays the building’s owner for the energy the building exports to the grid is at least equal to the amount the owner pays the utility for the energy services and energy used over the year.
NET-ZERO ENERGY EMISSIONS Net-Zero Energy Emissions – A building that produces at least as much emissions-free renewable energy as it uses from emission-producing energy sources annually. Carbon, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur oxides are common emissions that net-zero energy buildings offset. With many countries beginning to shift gears and focus on 2030 and 2050 targets of delivering and achieving net-zero goals, BETA is moving ahead of the needle by ensuring that the our generation and those we are training will not only embrace this future but also define it in a way that gives us direct control over the development of our country while becoming the beneficiaries of these advancements. 10

FIELD TOURS The field tours allow students to acquire front-line exposure to engineering and technology being applied in real life settings. These tours are strategically planned to have relevance to the camp theme. We believe in the importance for augmenting classroom learning with field experience that not only provides exposure but gives students visibility into the opportunities available in both technology and engineering locally.
Technical Expo At the culmination of the camp, there will be an expo to display some of the best projects from each stream of the camp. This is an opportunity for judges, sponsors and the public to see the technical projects that the students have created in the lessons throughout the week. Additionally, this is an opportunity for students to share the knowledge they have gained. One of the hallmarks of BETA Camp is our ability to incorporate a consistent infusion of daily handson learning to solidify core principles of engineering.
CAMP OBJECTIVES
Increase the participation of girls within STEM education programming. Provide funding for students from disadvantaged backgrounds to participate in the camp.
