Engineering, coding, entrepreneurship and gained measurable self-confidence are among the few things being taught at PHCC’s Verizon Innovative Learning Camp. Patrick Henry Community College announced the camp will continue and this year, rising six, seven, and eight grade girls from Patrick and Henry counties and the City of Martinsville are invited to discover how they can be leaders in a tech-driven future.

Camps will be held from June 10-28 for Patrick County residents, and from July 8-26 for Martinsville and Henry County residents. For the past two years, middle-school-aged girls have enjoyed the camp’s hands-on exploration of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

With a three-week intensive learning experience, girls in grades six through eight gain hands-on experience in augmented and virtual reality, coding, and 3D design. Meeting influential woman leaders and participating in innovative projects have helped past participants better understand their future career opportunities and their own capabilities. In the context of completing fun challenges and exploring new and exciting concepts, participants learn to foster an entrepreneurial mindset and become design thinkers.

The camp is free for rising sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade girls thanks to the Verizon Foundation and the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE).

Lunch and transportation to and from the campsite will be provided. Students will receive a free tablet to use for the duration of the program. Following the summer, the students will participate in monthly sessions throughout the academic year. To register for the camp, call (276) 656-5461.

To date, Verizon has invested over $200 million in this initiative and has reached more than one million students. Learn more at www.VerizonInnovativeLearning.com.
