Teenage Girls Get Video Game Summer Camp

wiredbeat2000 writes "The part of my brain that led me into the Women's Studies department in college is glowing tonight, after reading about a new computer game camp set up for teenage girls. The News-Gazette Online has a story about the camps, which are called the UI Girls' Adventures in Mathematics, Engineering and Science (G.A.M.E.S.) Camp. The story comes on the heels of today's announcement by Entertainment Software Association that game demographics are skewed differently than you'd expect."

Great job reading the description..

How is this at all related to Video Games?
From the site:
"Campers will spend the week of camp working on a team project, learning about various enginering, math, and science disciplines, participating in cool hands-on demonstrations, and meeting lots of other young women who share their interest in math and science. Check out the Highlights to learn more about the structures camp and about the computer science camp."
CompSci != Games.

It's just a clever acronym, but if you read the first page of the link(or even the freaking summary) you'll see it has nothing to do with video games.

(Incase they try to silently edit it, the title was originaly "Teenage Girls Get Video Game Summer Camp")
