Women of Mathematics and Computing (WOMAC) Camp
Camp Description
Synopsis:
This camp is a one-day introduction into the fields
of mathematics and computing for young women. There will be two core foci that
the participant will be introduced to, both a mathematical focus and a
computing focus. Our organization hopes to inspire and promote the
participation of young women in these female under-represented fields.
Date and Time:
November 11, 2006 ,
from 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Math
Core Description:
Campers will get to explore mathematics’ fun side and see the how math
relates to nature.
Computer
Core Description:
Campers will explore using the computer as a tool, instead of just a
resource. The focus will pertain to but is not limited to: beginning photo
manipulation, web design and creation, and beginning computer usage.
Fee:
The camp is charging a $25.00 fee, payable to WOMAC. This fee will be
refunded to the parent or guardian once the feedback form has been filled out
and sent back to WOMAC. The feedback form will be presented to the campers at
the end of the night. WOMAC does not expect the form to be filled out the day
that the camp is held. However, once we receive the form we will send a check
refunding the $25.00, back to the parent / guardian.
