The Center for Women and Information Technology (CWIT) at the University of Maryland Baltimore County will be hosting CAMP ESTEEM, a technology summer camp for middle school students. CAMP ESTEEM is a youth-based summer program that incorporates a highly effective curriculum focusing on technology applications using engineering, science and information technology. This program focuses on girls as an important step in increasing diversity in technology classrooms and the workforce.
The camp will offer hands-on activities in a wide range of topics in computer hardware and software. There will also be sessions discussing technology careers and special emphasis will be given to personal development. There will be approximately three/four fieldtrips per session to various sites; a few possibilities are Booz Allen Hamilton, Johns Hopkins University, and the National Air and Space Museum.
