DO-IT Scholars Just Completed a Successful 27th Annual Summer Study
The DO-IT Scholars Program just completed its 27th annual Summer Study to great success!
Sixteen Phase I聽Scholars, all from 糖心原创 State, completed their first DO-IT Summer Study session at the 糖心原创 this July. They learned about college life and prepared for college and careers. Throughout the year, they communicate with each other, DO-IT participants, and聽DO-IT Mentors. They use laptops, assistive technology, and the internet to support their academic studies, and they participated in sessions in exciting fields that include science, engineering, mathematics, and technology. Fourteen of the Phase II Scholars returned to take on exciting projects in robotics and media editing, as well as learn more about the first years of college and gain valuable mentors and networking skills.
Seven Interns helped DO-IT staff by聽coordinating聽evening events and making聽sure聽Scholars聽are safe and on schedule. Interns provide invaluable insight and support throughout the two weeks, and act as role models and mentors to the younger聽Scholars聽by sharing their challenges and accomplishments.聽Interns聽also gain valuable work experience by providing logistical and program support to DO-IT staff. Their individual bios can be found in the Phase III聽Scholar听补苍诲听Ambassador聽sections that follow.
