FW: Great Summer Camp Opportunity for High School Students at ASU

My name is Allison Farina I am the School of Computing and Informatics Summer Camp Coordinator at Arizona State University.  I am emailing to inform you about a summer camp opportunities for both your students and your children.

 

Below is some information about both camps.

 

This summer we are offering two exciting camps our Robotics Camp and Camp Game.  Both camps feature intensive hands on learning and leave students with an experience unlike anything else.  The camps will be taking place in June and July and vary in lengths of time depending on which camp is of interest to you.

 

·         Camp Game is a unique experience for middle and high school students in intensive video game creation, visualization and production. Students will work with a faculty experienced in the game industry to create concepts and prototypes for games using the latest software, hardware and development tools.  You can read more about Camp Game by visiting our website at http://sci.asu.edu/campgame/index.php .

·         ASU’s Robotics Camps has summer programs for both high school and middle school students who intend to pursue a science and engineering career. The camp is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education, Intel and the School of Computing and Informatics at Arizona State University. Camp instructors use component-based robot construction, robotics programming and Alice game programming as a vehicle to teach the latest engineering design concepts and computing technologies. The robots built by students will enter a robotics competition and demonstration.  You can read more about Robotics Camp by visiting http://asusrl.eas.asu.edu/srlab/research/roboticscamp/ .  There are some need based scholarships available for the Robotics Camps, please see website for details.

 

 

This year tuition fees have been dramatically lowered for both camps to allow for more students to enroll. You can apply for the camps through our registration links, which are listed on the websites above.  You will be required to pay a $25 non refundable application fee.  Space is limited for the camps and priority is given to those who submit their applications first.  A seat is guaranteed upon tuition payment.  Parents don’t let your children miss out on this unique opportunity for summer learning! 

 

I have attached our flyer for both camps in this email.  Please feel free to print out the flyer and give it to your students.

 

Please feel free to email or call me at 480-965-3199 with any questions that you may have.

 

 

Sincerely,
