A
WISE Adventure
Do you ever
wonder who created and designed that cell phone you can’t
live without? What about those great colors in the new makeup lines — where
do they come from? And how do they make those designer jeans that
everyone’s wearing? Engineers and scientists created them
all! There are many exciting opportunities for women in engineering
and science. Come learn about them in the Project WISE summer science
program.
Sponsored by Duke Energy since 1997
Rising eighth-grade girls participate in this one-week camp in
which noncredit minicourses in engineering and science are
taught by Clemson professors. The students have the opportunity
to experience collaborative and hands-on learning through
practical applications of math and science.

APPLY NOW
Science,
engineering and mathematics offer a world of interesting and
exciting careers that improve our lives. And women are an important
part of these fields. Clemson University’s College of
Engineering and Science would like to give you a better introduction
to these
disciplines and the opportunities they offer. Project WISE
is a fun-filled academic summer camp for girls. It’s
open to young women who will enter the 8th grade in the 2009-2010
school year.
Project
WISE will give you a chance to experience Clemson University
and the many wonders of science, mathematics and engineering. You’ll
live in a campus residence hall and eat in University dining
halls. Your counselors will be Clemson undergraduate women who
are majoring
in science, mathematics or engineering. They’ll live with
you to assist during the program and oversee activities in the
residence
halls.
