[Joe Orozco]

Hi,

Please share the following with any students that you feel would be 
interested by this opportunity:

As part of the NSF's initiative to Broaden Participation in Computing, a 
colleague and I have garnered funding to offer a pilot of a 4-day summer 
workshop for students in grades 7-12 who are interested in computing.  The 
workshop is for students who are visually impaired and in grades 7-12.  The 
workshop, called ImagineIT, will be hands-on, with teamwork, and will 
expplore various areas of computing including: robotics, computer hardware 
and networking, and programming.  The workshop will be taking place at the 
Rochester Institute of Technology campus July 16-19, 2007.

There is no registration fee and funds are available to help with travel and 
lodging in the Rochester, NY area.

More information, including the application materials, can be found at 
http://www.se.rit.edu/~imagine-it or by contacting me at 
imagine-it at se.rit.edu or by phone at 585.475.7407.

Thank you,
--Steph
