Technology for Girls Workshop Series

EX.I.T.E. - EXploring Interests in Technology and Engineering

Attend one or all, bring a friend!

During the 2008-2009 school year girls are invited to explore the wonderful world of science in a fun, non-competitive, supportive environment. Although the Technology for Girls Workshop Series is an extension of EX.I.T.E. Camp, the series is open to all middle school girls with disabilities.

Roll up your sleeves and prepare to explore science and technology during these hands-on, experiment based workshops.

2008 - 2009 Activity Schedule

Dream It, Build-It!
Tuesday, October 7, 2008 6 to 8 p.m.
If you can dream it, you can build it! Join us to put your creative thinking skills to the test while we design bridges, boats, and more. Toothpicks, pennies, aluminum foil, gumdrops, straws, and clay will be used to make a variety of structures. We will test our structures by adding weight. Come see what structures will fall and which ones will stand!

Forensics, Be a CSI!
Tuesday, April 7, 2009 6 to 8 p.m.
Put on you lab coats and come to PACER to be a Crime Scene Investigator (CSI)! We will explore the science of forensics by fingerprinting, analyzing powders, making teeth impressions, and determining someone’s height based on their shoe size. We will test our CSI skills by analyzing data and solving a mock crime!
