G.A.M.E. Pre-Camp Visit Parents and current campers are invited to visit campus to see the making of the G.A.M.E.S. summer camp. During this visit you will have the opportunity to tour camp facilities and the Illinois Street Residence Hall (ISR), which will be home to our G.A.M.E.S. campers. You’ll also experience the excitement, creativity, and innovation that Engineering brings to our life by meeting the camp’s faculty and counselors. At the end of the event, you’ll enjoy lunch in ISR, the same cafeteria where campers will enjoy all their meals. RSVP by July 6th - First
100 individuals to RSVP will be provided lunch |

Structures (Girls
entering 6th or 7th Grade in Fall 2009) Cost: $575 Camp is full. Waiting list is full. The Structure camp’s focus is a specialized area within Civil Engineering. Civil engineering focuses on the design and construction of building and bridges, aircraft and space structures, power plants and dams, and many other structures around us. Campers work in small groups to design and build their own bridges, water towers or boats. As part of the challenge and fun, campers will see their completed projects tested by the forces of nature in University laboratories. |

Computer Science
(Girls entering 7th or 8th Grade in Fall 2009) Cost: $575 Camp is full. Waiting list is full. Computer Science Camp gives young women the opportunity to harness the power of computer technology by exploring computer graphics, creating interactive animations, and launching a website showcasing their unique personalities. Campers will participate in stimulating computer labs, hands-on programming and other activities, and field trips to interact with some of the nation's most fascinating computer projects on the University of Illinois campus. |

Bioimaging (Girls
entering 8th or 9th Grade in Fall 2009) Cost: $725 Camp is full. Waiting list is full. Bioimaging is a key tool in fields as diverse as Renewable Energy and Health care. In the Bioimaging camp girls will use state of the art microscopy tools to understand the effects of environmental changes on plant cells and to learn about human health via imaging techniques. Campers will also image living plant leaves and learn about optics, biomedical imaging and image analysis. |

Bioengineering / Chemical Engineering (Girls
entering 9th or 10th Grade in Fall 2009) Cost: $975 Camp is full. Waiting list is full. Come and learn how a little engineering can make a BIG difference! Campers will discover how chemical engineering and bioengineering are teaming up together to help cure diseases, provide alternative sources of energy, and make a real impact in developing countries. Young women will learn how tissue engineering is working to repair human muscles damaged by illnesses such as polio and how to harness alternative sources of energy to use it for constructive ends, as economically as possible, with the least damaging impacts on our environment. As part of the challenge and fun, students will work in state of the art UIUC labs to establish and observe their own culture of muscle cells, to develop medicine to prevent disease, and to create environmentally friendly alternative sources of energy. |
