Hi there,
I'm Dr. Paige Rodeghero, a faculty member in the School of Computing at Clemson University. I'm reaching out to ask for your help sharing a free summer opportunity with students, families, educators, counselors, and community members who may be interested.
This summer, my colleague Dr. Matthew Boyer, our DevLab@Clemson team, and I are hosting the 5th annual EdASE Summer Camp - Educating Autistic Software Engineers. EdASE is a free, National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded, fully virtual video game design and development camp for autistic high school students.
Over three weeks, students will use block-based programming to build a real video game while practicing teamwork, communication, and collaboration skills that can support future pathways in computing. Because the camp is fully virtual, students can participate from home.
This camp is best for autistic high school students who are comfortable participating in a live online setting, following multi-step computer-based activities, asking for help when needed, and collaborating with teammates on a shared game project. No advanced coding experience is required.
Details:
Would you be willing to share this opportunity with students, families, counselors, educators, youth program staff, or anyone in your network who may be interested?
Thank you so much for considering it. Opportunities like this can make a real difference for students, and our enrollment window is closing soon, so any help spreading the word this week is greatly appreciated.
Warm regards,
Dr. Paige Rodeghero
