[Arizona-students] For High School Students: Youth Slam!

[Allison (NFB of Arizona)]

Hi Everyone!

Have you heard about the 2009 Youth Slam?

It is an event in which Two hundred blind and low vision students from all
across the country attend a five-day adventure that will engage, inspire,
and encourage the next generation of blind youth to consider careers falsely
believed to be impossible for the blind.  Have you ever wanted to build and
launch a rocket?  Are you interested in learning about forensics?  Or do you
have an interest in journalism?  The possibilities are plentiful at the NFB
Youth Slam!


While staying at the University of Maryland, College Park, students will be
mentored by blind role models during fun and challenging activities designed
to build confidence and increase science literacy.



To learn more, you can visit

http://www.blindscience.org/ncbys/Student_Information.asp?SnID=2031663918.



Interested students who will be entering high school in the fall of 2009 or
are currently in high school (including those graduating in the spring of
2009) should complete an application by March 1, 2009.  Students need not
have a strong interest in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM)
in order to participate, enjoy, and benefit from this extraordinary
experience.



I've attached a general information   file to this e-mail, as well as the
participant application.  The application may also be completed online by
visiting the above link.



Feel free to write me if you have questions.  nfbarizona at gmail.com.



Best,

Allison
