OFFER A GATEWAY ACADEMY SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAM

Sign up now to offer a 2012 Society of Manufacturing Engineers
Education Foundation (SME-EF) Gateway Academy Summer Youth Program.
Any school with PLTW's Gateway To Technology (GTT) program or Pathway
to Engineering (PTE) program may offer this day camp, which is
designed to engage middle school students in hands-on STEM projects
and introduce them to the GTT program.

Students come together in a fun, exciting environment to sample STEM
disciplines like robotics, aeronautics, rockets, eco-design,
manufacturing and alternative energy. They use leading-edge
technologies and work on their critical-thinking, problem-solving and
collaboration skills. Teachers trained in PLTW's STEM education
program provide expert instruction in small group settings.

Gateway Academy uses the same software and equipment as the GTT
program and is designed to take place in the same classroom.
Enrollment is typically 20-25 students per session.
