Engineering camp for girls offers a different kind of summer

Wayne State University is offering a Woman in Engineering Training four-week summer program starting Monday for a group of talented girls who will enter high school next fall. "We want to motivate them before high school when their dreams are still strong," says Gerald Thompkins, associate dean and director of the program. Participants attend computer classes, an aerospace class and they learn about Mars surface exploration projects while building model Mars Rovers and landscapes. On Fridays, they travel to nearby points of interest for fun and additional learning experiences. A contact phone number is given for registrations.
