UCI American Indian Summer Program for High School Students

American Indian Summer Program for High School Students

June 27 - July 12, 2009

University of California, Irvine

Applications available at www.airp.uci.edu and are due April 30th

AISICS is a free two-week residential summer program where students will work with professors, college students, and invited American Indian community members to develop interactive story projects that combine computer game technology with traditional American Indian culture. At AISICS, students will learn about computer science and technology fields and they will be introduced to a university environment. Students will also have the opportunity to tour various departments at UCI so that they will be better informed when selecting a major. In the Communication Skills segment of the program, students will write down traditional stories, create videos to post on YouTube, give short presentations to other students, and complete a college application form.

All students in the program will receive follow-up mentorship by UCI staff and students throughout their remaining years of high school, which will include guidance in choosing their coursework, financial aid, and applying to a university. Please email or call Yolanda Leon for more information: yleon@uci.edu / 949-824-0291.

Currently, we have no way of deciphering between the two - we leave it up to the viewer to decide whether the companies serving ads are honest or not.
