College of Technology TEAM Summer Camp Program
TEAM (Technology Expanding All Minds)
A summer camp for students entering the 9th and 10th grades
June 27 - July 1, 2010
The purpose of the TEAM summer program is to introduce young people to a college environment and career opportunities within the varied fields of Technology. Students will be introduced to the College of Technology through activities/experiences that would be of interest to young women. During your stay, we hope to increase your awareness of technical career choices and encourage you to take the appropriate high school courses in Math, Science and English to better prepare yourself for college and the College 
of Technology. Participants will be introduced to many hands-on learning experiences offered by the nine technology departments listed in the brochure. Some of the activities will include visiting the Purdue airport, learning about manufacturing processes, 'playing with 'graphic design in Computer Graphics Technology and much more.
