Georgia Tech’s summer camp program has released the list of classes for summer 2012. Now operating under the name Summer PEAKS (Programs for Enrichment and Accelerated Knowledge in STEM), the Georgia Tech summer program is open to rising middle-school and high-school students.

Hands-on, interactive classes will be offered on a variety of science, technology and math topics. Each class runs for one week, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. High-school sections this summer include astrobiology, finance, nanotechnology, mobile app development, architecture and more. Middle-school classes will include space exploration, LEGO Mindstorms, mobile app development and more.

Review the list with your child, pick your favorites, and stand by — the application will be posted in “late February,” according to the web site.

PEAKS is operated by CEISMC, the Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics and Computing. CEISMC provides enrichment opportunities in math, science, technology and engineering. In addition to its summer programs, CEISMC offers classes during the school year through its K.I.D.S. Club.
