Summer Academic Camps (1401)

While many were enjoying amusement parks, family trips, camping, swimming and other things, some NJ students spent 4 and 5 weeks of their summer in a place you'd least expect… a classroom. 1) The New Jersey SEEDS program is designed to give gifted and talented 7th and 8th graders, who are financially disadvantaged, the opportunity to attend some of the most competitive private high schools on the East Coast. 2) Studies show that girls are less likely to pursue high-paying jobs in the technology field, but one South Jersey program has girls eager to get acquainted with the male dominated field of science and technology. The Sr. FEMME program teaches middle school girls basics of computer components and terminology, hardware, programming language, and how to make web pages.
