EX.I.T.E. Camp
EXploring Interests in Technology and Engineering
EX.I.T.E. Camps, developed 10 years ago through an IBM initiative, are now a worldwide event. The mission of EX.I.T.E. Camp is to empower middle school girls in the fields of math, science, and engineering. EX.I.T.E. Camp provides a safe and supported environment for hands-on learning as well as a place to meet new friends and create lasting memories.
In 2009, IBM and PACER Center collaborated for the seventh consecutive year to present a camp specifically for middle school girls with disabilities. Technology experts, scientists, and engineers from Accenture, Best Buy, IBM, Medtronic, Target and 3M gathered for five days in August and generously donated their talents, resources, and insight to inspire middle school girls with disabilities. Campers attended from over 25 Minnesota cities and explored technology in a fun-filled way.
The 2009 EX.I.T.E. Camp was sponsored from generous donations from H.B. Fuller Company Foundation, IBM Corporation, the Medtronic STAR Foundation, and the Xcel Energy Foundation. EX.I.T.E. camp 2010 will bring similar experiences.
