Emerging and Converging Technology Camp

I’d like to invite you to attend the Emerging and Converging Technologies summer science academy held on the OSU Institute of Technology campus this June. This will be a fascinating, hands-on learning experience with field trips and challenging activities.

The Summer Academy for Advanced Technologies: Emerging and Converging Technologies is June 6-11^th and for Oklahoma students in eighth, ninth, and tenth grades.

Attending this academy will have a lasting impact on your life. Did you know?

• 73 percent of Summer Academy students go to college immediately after high school, compared to 56 percent of average students.
• While in college, Summer Academy students are more academically prepared than their peers, requiring one-third fewer remedial courses than average students.
• More than 80 percent of Summer Academy students earn at least a bachelor’s degree, compared with 22 percent of average Oklahomans.

And remember, this Summer Academy is FREE. I hope to see you there!
