Shopper Source Online > News > 04-29-09 RIT Offers Summer Camp For Girls With Hearing Loss
Deaf and hard-of-hearing girls who are entering 7th, 8th or 9th grade in September and who are interested in science, technology, engineering and math can attend TechGirlz, a summer camp from August 2 - 8 at Rochester Institute of Technology’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf.
TechGirlz is designed to help girls learn about and consider jobs and careers in science and technology. Campers will learn through hands-on activities such as building their own computer to take home, discovering the secrets of roller coaster design and becoming a commander on a simulated mission to Mars. They also will meet other girls with similar interests, enjoy social activities and get their own lab coats. Camp classes are taught in English and in sign language, are certified by the New York State Department of Health, and incorporate National Science Education standards. The cost is $650 and includes tuition, housing in a residence hall on campus, and meals and snacks for the week. Parents are invited to opening and closing activities. Deadline for applications is May 31.
