High School Science Camps
Apply Soon, limited slots available!
High school science camps are for students with a 504 plan or IEP who are interested in pursuing a career in science, technology, engineering, and or mathematics. Students participate in week long session of learning. This summer we will offer one camp consisting of; Astronomy (June 20th-June 24, 2011). A $25.00 deposit is required to attend, but is returned when the student completes the camp. There are no other costs. All supplies and meals are provided.
The EAST Alliance2 for Students with a Disability in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics is funded by the National Science Foundation. Our mission is to increase the number of students with a disability that attend college and pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. We provide a pipeline of supports from high school through graduate school. This starts with our high school science camps.
