Wendy Knipe Bredhold Media Relations Specialist, News & Information Services 812/461-5259 GO STEM! focuses on helping girls entering their sophomore year of high school overcome barriers and stereotypes faced while preparing for and pursuing STEM-related careers through a three-day summer camp experience. GO STEM! also involves female college students in the STEM disciplines by allowing them to work with and mentor these high school students. This summer experience will focus on the application of the STEM disciplines at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari in Santa Claus, Indiana, by using the amusement park as a laboratory for experiments and activities in chemistry and nutrition, mathematics, biology, and engineering/applied physics. Applications are due April 30. Campers will reside in the residence halls at USI. The fee is $250 with tuition scholarships available for qualifying students. For more information, contact Shelly Blunt, program director, at 812/465-1268 or sblunt@usi.edu or go to www.usi.edu/STEM/GoSTEM_10.asp for an application. |
