Science Camp for Kansas City Girls a Success
The Jewell Academy for Women in Science (JAWS)
hosted 20 young 8th-grade women from across
the greater Kansas City metropolitan area
for a week-long camp of state-of-the-art,
engaging, hands-on, science learning from
June 25 to July 1.
Thanks to a generous grant from the Kauffman
Foundation, the camp was provided free of
charge to all participating students. The
camp took full advantage of Jewell's nationally-renowned
science program and facilities, focusing on
experiment-based chemistry, physics, microbiology,
and ecology, in addition to an evening program
that included astronomy, computer science,
"bioart", and more. Leadership and
teambuilding training was provided for participants,
as well as mentoring opportunities with some
of William Jewell's outstanding young scientists
and faculty members.
On the last full day of the camp, the students
learned and practiced presentation and communication
skills in preparation for the mini-science
fair that served as the culmination of the
camp. As JAWS was a residential camp experience,
lodging and meals were provided for the campers
throughout the week at no cost.
