Women in Engineering EDGE Camp
www.purdue.edu/WIEP/EDGE/edgehome.html |
The Women in Engineering Program at
Purdue University is dedicated to enriching the profession of Engineering
through the full participation of women. The EDGE camp
was designed to show early High School students what career
choices are available in Engineering. Camp activities are chosen
that specifically target topics of interest to young women and
highlight the opportunities available within the Purdue College of Engineering.
This strategy is designed to show the campers that
engineering is a feasible career choice, regardless of their personal
interests or individual talents. All campers stay in the
residence halls. To be considered for the camp, the
student must submit a teacher’s recommendation and write an essay
about something that they would invent to make their family’s
life easier. ACTIVITIES: * Engineering laboratory tours * Leadership challenge
ropes course * Industrial tour * NASA Design Activity * Platform Shoe Production
Activity * Model Airplane Engine Construction * FIRST Lego League Robotic Challenge
* Banquet * Engineering book and photos given to
all campers and prizes to winning teams * Evening activities
(bowling, water park, etc.)
