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."
Nowhere on Earth could you find MORE of my favorite things all in one place!
The 30 eighth- and ninth-grade girls at the camp, some from as far away as New York, used the skills they accumulated to design video games, which they presented on Friday in a game fair held at the camp's culmination.
"They're learning actual programming and applying it to a really fun area," said Aimee Rickman, director of the camp. "It's the only camp of its kind in the nation."
ok, who else mistook this for a hot-chicks-playing-videogames story?
