Attention Math, Science, and Technology Juniors and Seniors:
(A word of caution… the opportunity falls during Finals which is unfortunate because it is targeting B and C students. However, Camas HS will only receive 4-6 of the 40 spots)
STEM Opportunity:
A fantastic science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) opportunity will be open to a few Camas High School students. The Southwest Washington Workforce Development Council will be partnering with the SEMI Foundation , Clark College, Hewlett-Packard, Wafer Tech, Columbia Machine, Underwriters Laboratories, and the Clark County High Technology & Community Council, to bring SEMI High Tech U to Clark County on June 15, 16 and 17th. The actual activities will take place at Hewlett-Packard, Wafer Tech, and Clark College. The other partners are graciously contributing funds and employees to lead the High Tech U activities and mock interviews.
SEMI High Tech U is a three-day, industry-driven math- and science-based career exploration program produced and presented by the non-profit SEMI Foundation in conjunction with our local sponsors. The program will provide 35-40 sophomores and juniors in Clark County, focused on the B and C students, with an opportunity learn more directly from practitioners about how math and science are used in the high tech world.
Since its inception in 2001, SEMI has graduated more than 2,200 students around the world from its High Tech U program. In a survey of 225 recent graduates, as a result of their High Tech U experience, 98 percent said they had confidence to try new courses and activities and 71% who were undecided about their educational path now want to pursue a path in engineering. We are eager to build on this success here locally. For more information about the High Tech U program, visit http://www.semi.org/en/index.htm.
There is no cost for the students to participate in this program.
If you know of an interested student, Please give them the information to RSVP Linda Barnes or Maria Klein at Camas High School: 833-7258 by May 21. An application will be available at that time.
