STEPS Engineering Camp for Girls

 Science Technology Engineering Preview Summer Camp (STEPS) for girls, grades 9-12, invites students to get involved in the world of engineering. This program shows girls that they can be a part of the engineering world too, all while making new friends and having fun! Students will get to program robots, make biodiesel, and learn about wind and solar power! STEPS Camp also includes activities like swimming, pizza parties and field trips!  Campers participate in hands-on activities that give them an understanding of what engineers do.

 Participants will experience dorm life, cafeteria food and learn what it is like to be on a college campus. 

 This is an overnight residential camp. A room will be provided in a residence hall on the School of Mines campus for the entire week, and the camp will provide all meals.

 There are 2 sessions of STEPS offered to high school girls:

 June 27-July 2, 2010
 July 18-23, 2010

 Attendance is limited to 28 girls. Register soon to reserve your spot!
 Scholarships may be available to students with financial need or good academic performance.
