EX.I.T.E. Camp Applications Are Due May 1
PACER Center’s EX.I.T.E. Camp (EXploring Interests in Technology and Engineering) is accepting applications for its August 2009 session. Applications are due May 1.
The free day camp encourages middle-school girls with disabilities to explore, discover, create, and challenge themselves to investigate the world around them with technology. Campers learn through hands-on experiments, meet new people, hear professionals with disabilities talk about their success in technology fields, and more.
The day camp, held at PACER Center, 8161 Normandale Blvd., Bloomington, Minn., runs for five days in August. It is sponsored in part by IBM and local technology companies.
