POWER Camp 2009: If you can SEE it, you can BE it!
You’ve heard about engineering, but what is it really? What do engineers do? Engineering is everywhere. Is it for you? Explore engineering with other young women your age at the 4th annual Preparing Outstanding Women for Engineering Roles (POWER) Summer Camp at the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology, IUPUI.
Sunday-through-Saturday the POWER Summer Camp gives you the opportunity to explore engineering through hands-on, learn-by-doing experiences. Guided by professors and current engineering students you’ll conduct experiments, innovate, make cool stuff, take things apart and then put them back together again. We offer exciting opportunities to meet a diverse selection of professional women engineers and young college women inspiring to be engineers and spend time checking out up-and-coming technology in engineering through innovation modules.
Testimonials from this year's POWER participants...
“My biology teacher told me about POWER camp, and after being here, I think this camp is a great way to learn about new things and expand your horizons. I’ve learned that engineering is innovative and different, and that draws me in.” - Margarette Webb
“I found out about POWER camp through my internship at Rolls-Royce, where I work in the combustion unit. Before my internship, I didn’t know much about engineering. My internship and programs like this camp allow me to better understand and target my interests. I’ve learned that I’m a problem-solver, and I’m certainly thinking about engineering as a potential career field.” - Jocelyn Harris
“I wanted to experience POWER camp because I might be interested in going into engineering. I thought meeting people from different countries was awesome, and I’m most excited about our robotics competition.” - Raven Francis
“I appreciate that POWER camp really encourages minorities and allows us to understand why the field of engineering needs minorities and women to be represented. This camp has allowed me to look at things from new and different perspectives.” - Krystin Prince
“I’m interested in engineering, and I love hands-on activities. To me, engineering is what changes the world.”
- Lamira Bland
