The College of Engineering and Computing (CEC) partnered with the Girl Scout (GSA) Council of the Congaree Area in submitting a grant to Lockheed Martin to offer gender specific Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) experiences for girls aged 11-17.
The grant proposal was aimed at providing projects that will consistently give girls experiences throughout the year to explore STEM disciplines and career opportunities through interactive hands-on activities.
With the success of the grant application, CEC is able to begin working with the GSA to achieve that goal. The first of the experiences has culminated in providing the STEM Career Exploration Camp day camp to be held July 30 through August 3, 2007 at the USC College of Engineering and Computing -- offering planned activities for the Girl Scout participants and giving them the opportunity to connect with a female role model in each of the CEC programs.
