Registration is open now for the second annual Students Exploring Engineering event, sponsored by the Women in Engineering group at Georgia Tech.
The one-day event for high-school freshman and sophomore girls will be held January 21, 2016, on the Georgia Tech campus. Participating students will be introduced to a variety of engineering disciplines, visit a faculty lab or engage in an interactive project, and tour the campus. Admissions staff from Georgia Tech will be on hand to discuss the academic requirements for admission to Tech.
The program is limited to 100 students. A $25 fee includes breakfast and lunch.
Women in Engineering, founded in 1994, seeks to increase the number of women students who pursue engineering degrees and careers.
Enrollment open for Duke TIP 7th Grade Talent Search
Duke University’s Talent Identification Program (TIP) is now enrolling students in its 7th Grade Talent Search.
To enroll, your child must have a qualifying score on an accepted test, such as the CogAT, CRCT or ITBS. The deadline to register is Dec. 9, 2015.
Students accepted by the Talent Search may choose to take the SAT or ACT as seventh graders. For kids who typically score in the 99th percentile of the standardized tests they’re given in school, taking these tests designed for high-school upperclassmen can provide a better gauge of where they stand academically.
When you become part of the TIP program, you’ll also receive information about meeting your child’s academic needs, and get access to TIP-sponsored programs, including summer programs on the Duke campus.
