The Schlumberger Rice Computer Engineering Design Academy for Middle School Girls inspired young women to envision themselves as scientists and engineers. For two weeks, 28 Houston-area middle school students got hands-on design experience connecting science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) to real-life applications using new and exciting technology.
Participants learned computer-aided design (CAD) programming and created three-dimensional objects using rapid prototyping, including a 3-D printer. The students wrapped up the academy by showcasing the remote control vehicles they designed, built and programmed.

Hello – I just happened across this online article re: computer science program for middle school girls and am wondering how one can get their child into such a program?
Thank you!
