In the camps, sixth- and seventh-grade girls do hands-on projects and learn about engineering from current Purdue engineering students. The camp, sponsored by Purdue's Women in Engineering Program, has run from June 14 through today and is one of several summer programs aimed at encouraging underrepresented groups to consider engineering as an eventual field of study. The second LEAP camp, for seventh- and eight-grade girls, takes place next week (6/21-6/25).
