Girls TEC Camp Registration

Published April 10, 2008

Female students entering eighth grade next school year can explore a wide variety of career opportunities at the 2008 Girls TEC Camp. The camp, which will be held June 9-13 at Centennial High School, is a fun way for students to learn about career opportunities in the fields of science and technology. During the five days, the girls will plan and complete a variety of projects within selected technology curriculum, participate in problem-solving activities

and hear from dynamic women in non-traditional careers such as drafting, media production and marketing.

Centennial High School Drafting Teacher Tim Sawyer is one of the camp instructors. He says the camp is helpful for students who aren't sure what they want to study in high school and college. "We take them into some of the non-traditional career and tech classes," says Sawyer. "Classes that girls sometimes don't sign up for."

Female students who would like to learn more about networking, communications, engineering, architecture, biotechnology, law, tourism and other fast-growing, high-paying technology fields are encouraged to sign up for this exciting opportunity. The cost is $50 which includes a daily lunch, a t-shirt and other perks. Space is limited and reservations will be held according to the date the application is received. The deadline for applications is May 9. To learn how to register or for more information, call Williamson County Schools Career and Tech Counselor Rebecca Cain at 472-4063.
