APS Middle School Girls Star in Tech Camp
Men outnumber women in nearly every scientific field by college graduation. According to a recent report from the Census Bureau, only about a quarter of workers in science, technology, engineering and math fields (STEM) are women. Aurora Public Schools is committed to tackling the dramatic under-representation of women in STEM.
In partnership with CounterTrade and Hewlett Packard, APS is hosting its fourth annual Girls Technology Camp. The day-long event takes girls through a series of workshops that include:
- Electronic guts
- Rocketry
- Snap circuits
- 3-D Design Challenge
The camp will be held on April 29 at the Professional Learning and Conference Center, located at 15771 E. 1st Ave., Aurora, 80011. Media is welcome to attend at 9 a.m.
