Parents
Program Activities
- Back to College: With a simple application process,
parents themselves can take courses at a community college, IUPUI, or
a technical institute. Parents are able to choose the classes they wish
to take, but must provide an explanation about how the classes contribute
to their own personal growth and their ability to engage in their child’s
education. Tuition, childcare, and tutoring are provided.
- Camps: An integral part of Science Bound is each
student’s participation in a summer camp on the West Lafayette
Campus. Parents are invited to attend for a day or two during their
child’s stay.
- Awareness Groups: Topic orientated, these bimonthly
support meetings investigate the various needs of parents and provide
guest speakers, group and family activities, childcare, and supporting
material for the future success of each Science Bound family member.
- Parent and Children Support Groups: Science Bound
parents and children participate together in several activities designed
around the needs of the parents. Activities will be based on the best
practices of operating programs around the country.
- Weekend Retreat: Parents and children also participate
in an annual weekend retreat at a camp near Lafayette or Indianapolis.
- Indiana Web Academy: Through a program designed by
the IWA, parent-child teams build their own computer to take home.
