Hosted by the Women in Engineering Program at The Ohio State University, the Future Engineers Summer Camp (FESC) is a five-day, non-residential summer program for young women who will be entering the 8th grade in the fall following the camp. Participants in FESC 2009 will explore concepts in engineering and science through a variety of fun, hands-on activities led by Ohio State engineering faculty and graduate students. Participants will also visit several area businesses and corporations to learn more about what engineers do in the “real world.” FESC 2009 is made possible through the generous support of The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company.
FESC 2009 will run from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm each day, beginning on Monday, August 3rd, and ending on Friday, August 7th. The camp will be held on Ohio State’s Columbus campus.
Except for a nonrefundable application fee of $25.00, FESC 2009 is available free of charge to all participants. A limited number of need-based scholarships are available to cover the cost of the application fee. For more information about scholarships, please contact Ruth Friedman at the phone number or e-mail address given below.
Admission to FESC 2009 is competitive and will be based on an applicant’s personal statement, a teacher recommendation from the applicant’s current math or science teacher, and a copy of the applicant’s most recent grade report for the 2008-09 school year.
