4th Annual GRASP Summer Camp Is In Session

Have you noticed that the PRB has been filled with excitement this week? The 4th annual Girls Reaching to Achieve in Sports and Physics (GRASP) Summer Camp is scheduled for June 13-17; June 20-24, 2011. This camp was created in 2008 and is hosted by the Physics Undergraduate Studies Office and the Society of Women in Physics in coordination with physics faculty, staff, and students. The camp is open to middle school age girls and each day consists of a hands-on, interactive physics demonstration or project followed by a physical activity that shows how physics relates to everyday life. This year, 60 students from local middle schools have signed up for the GRASP. The main purpose of this camp is to encourage young females to consider a career in one of the STEM fields. Additional information about the camp can be found on the GRASP website.
