SCAT: Free enrichment program for rising 6th grade girls for game design.

Hello, everyone!

SCAT is a free enrichment program designed to expose rising 6th grade girls
to game design.  The program spans 3 years, and participants will be able
to develop their algorithmic thinking and problem solving skills as they
design more and more complex games.  As such, participants will
participate through
their 6th, 7th, and 8th grade years.

The SCAT program consists of three different activities:
1. A 2-week hands on game design summer camp (to be held July 1 - 12, 2013);
2. Three 6-week intensive game design workshops where SCAT Scholars will
refine and implement their games to prepare them for submission to three
different national game design competitions; and
3. Three field trips in the metro-Atlanta area where SCAT Scholars can see
algorithms in action

The workshops and field trips will take place throughout the school year.

SCAT Scholars will receive $500 for each year they participate in the three
year program.  Participation is limited to 26 girls.  Priority will be
given to African-American applicants.

The application period is currently open and will remain so until June 7,
2013.  You can find out more information about the SCAT Program and apply
