SMART Girls
Summer Program 2010
The SMART (Science Math And Real Technology) Girls Summer Program is a week-long day camp in math, science, and technology at the Atlanta Girls’ School for girls entering grades 4 through 7. At this camp, students experience the excitement and joy of science and mathematics. Through investigation and exploration in a nurturing environment, SMART Girls strives to produce curious and confident students who are adept at problem-solving and enthusiastic about discovery. SMART Girls encourages students to see math, science, and technology as collaborative and eye-opening subjects. Motivated students engage in challenging activities that push the limits of their knowledge. Students who struggle with math and science during the school year will find that these subjects can be exciting when working together to share, experiment with, and refine ideas. Students will have two morning sessions in which they learn math, science, and/or technology skills through hands-on experiments and discovery. Among the course topics are: • Building a Robot • Space Exploration • Building A Dream Home
• Math Around the World • Videography • Computer Programming
The afternoon sessions complement the academic work of morning classes with humanities programs in fields such as dance, art, literature, and foreign language enrichment. Through exciting activities that combine creativity and team-building, girls learn to mix laughter with challenge.
