Summer Camp for High School Students – Scholarships Available!

SEMI High U is an industry driven program that will engage 40 high school students in STEM related projects that are relevant lessons for the semiconductor industry and other high tech careers. The Student program will be offered August 17 – 20, 2010 and is fully sponsored by Global Foundries, the Greater Capital Region Career Pathways Consortium, Capital Region BOCES, TEC-SMART, Schenectady County Community College, the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering at SUNY Albany, the Center for Economic Growth, the Workforce Consortium, the SEMI foundation and NYSUT; a true collaborative partnership.

Check out the online video here for more information.

9th – 11th grade students must receive a recommendation from teachers or guidance counselors. The students should be interested in exploring a high tech career, have a perhaps as yet unrealized potential, and an interest in science, math and technology. Student nominees should have average to good grades, good citizenship and a strong attendance record. Recommended students have an appreciation for hands-on activities and may be interested in attending college and furthering their education. Parent or guardian support for their student’s participation in the program is also important.
