The University of Washington is again sponsoring the Summer Academy for
Advancing Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Computing in 2011, its 5th year.
We have had enormous success in the last four years, and with your help
we hope to make the academy even better this coming year.
The Summer Academy seeks to find the top 10 deaf and hard of hearing
students, ages 16 and over, who excel in and enjoy math, science and/or
computing. This is a challenging academic program that allows
participants to earn college credit while learning about various aspects
of and opportunities in computing. The Summer Academy is designed to
introduce computing to deaf and hard of hearing students considering
computer science, computer engineering, information science, information
systems or information technology as a career, either in industry or
academia. Admission is very competitive, based on an assessment of
academic ability and enthusiasm to participate in an intensive learning
experience in all things computing. Our program is funded by the Bill
and Melinda Gates Foundation and the National Science Foundation;
tuition, room and board, and round-triptransport ation will be provided
at no cost to selected applicants. This is truly an exciting
opportunity!
Please forward this email to deaf and hard of hearing students who have
shown an interest in math, science and/or computing; to another
counselor or educator that would know such students; or to the student's
parents. The first deadline is December 31, 2010, however applications
received after that date will be considered on a space available basis.
You may also direct your students to our website at
www.washington. edu/accesscomput ing/dhh/academy. It includes program
information, the program brochure, a video on the Summer Academy, and an
online application form.
