Early registration ends today for February TIP Scholar Weekend at UGA; registration also open for April weekend
Today is the final day of early bird registration for the UGA-Duke TIP Scholar Weekend to be held Feb. 11-12, 2012. (Sorry I am so late letting you know.) Regular registration will remain open until Jan. 27, 2012. Courses to be offered in February include graphic novels as literature, the physics of automobiles and the Rube Goldberg challenge.
Early registration is open through March 9 for another Scholar Weekend to be held April 21-22, 2012. Courses to be offered that weekend include robotics, microbes, forensic anthropology, screenwriting, and arguing before the Supreme Court.
Scholar weekends are open to students in grades 8-11 who have taken part in a talent search conducted by Duke TIP or who have been identified as gifted by their school. This includes students taking accelerated, honors, Advanced Placement or IB classes. Students stay on campus in the Georgia Center for Continuing Education during the weekend.
