...Announce New Scholarship for Gaming Girls
For the June/July 2007 enrollment, WomenGamers.Com and National Computer Camp (NCC) are offering scholarships valued at $945 to two female students ages 8-18 for one week. These will be the first scholarships ever given to girls wishing to attend this fantastic summer experience.
At NCC (http://www.NCCamp.com), campers can design a 2D or 3D video game, learn to program, create a graphic video, take apart a computer, create a home page, play tennis, play Civilization and make new friends. Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, NCC is America's original computer camp with locations in Connecticut, Georgia, New York, and Ohio.
"We are absolutely thrilled to be offering girls this unique opportunity," says Ismini Boinodiris Roby, Chief Editor and Co-Founder of WomenGamers.Com. "Today's girls are adopting technology at lightning speed and this program will help give them the edge they need to stay ahead of the game."
National Computer Camps provides an opportunity for young people from all parts of the United States and around the world to interact creatively. This harmonic integration of young minds is the primary focus of NCC. Computer camp is the brainchild of Dr. Michael Zabinski who was awarded several federal grants to train teachers to integrate computers into their classrooms. In an effort to reach young people personally, he established the first of these educational summer camps coining the phrase "computer camps" and founded NCC.
"My two children have attended NCC for the last four years. My son first attended NCC when he was 11 and my daughter when she was just 10 years old. They both fell in love with NCC that year and have been back every year. Once computer camp is over they usually start looking forward to the next summer when they can go back again!" says a parent from Cleveland, Ohio.
Scholarship applicants need to submit an essay in response to the following question:
"What will video games of the future be like and if you were in charge of designing a game, what would it be like?"
The 500 - 600 word essay must be submitted to scholarship@womengamers.com no later than April 27, 2007. Along with the essay, include your name, address, telephone, email address, and age. The winning essays will be posted on WomenGamers.Com. The essays will be judged by a WomenGamers.Com panel and the scholarship recipients will be announced on May 4th, 2007. For each scholarship to be awarded, at least five entries need to be received.
