Cheerleading Meets Technology at Purdue University
Taken from The Star Press:
Purdue University will offer a new camp for high school students with an interest in cheerleading, and will offer an opportunity to explore college and career opportunities in technology fields.
Cheering in the Classroom will be July 21-24 for students in grades 9-12. The camp is directed toward girls with an interest in cheerleading, but is open to all high school students. Campers will participate in a variety of activities and sessions that give them an overview of the various technology-related fields and real-life applications by incorporating the topic of cheerleading into examples.
Purdue cheerleaders and College of Technology students and faculty will teach the sessions. Activities will include programming a 2-foot-tall robot to perform a choreographed dance. Students will mix their own music and will perform the same dance along with the robot.
The cost is $150 a person, and includes all accommodations, meals and activities. Students will stay in Shreve Hall and eat in Purdue dining courts.
To register, go online to www.tech.purdue.edu/. Those who would like to attend the camp but lack the financial means should contact Christi Jacobs, (765) 494-2331, cjacobs@purdue.edu.
