We spent the past hour going over the Techie Camp pilot program that plan to host in Cincinnati, Dallas, No. Delaware, Philadelphia and Washington DC. The program will take 2 weeks (1 week for elementary students; 1 week for middle school students). It is an opportunity for BDPA to expand its SITES program down to the 3rd-8th grade level in a way that we've never been able to do before.<br /><br />The BDPA representatives on the phone included:<br /><br />* Cincinnati - Wanda Gray<br />* Dallas - Chris Johnson, Stacy Stewart, Chad White<br />* No. Delaware - Karen Smith<br />* Philadelphia - Hayward West, Eileen Gadsden<br />* Washington DC - Perry Carter<br /><br />The Tech Corps representatives included:<br /><br />* Tech Corps Ohio - Lisa Chambers, Aung Nay and Janice (?)<br />* Tech Corps Texas - Danny Perry<br /><br />The BETF representative was me.<br /><br />I hope that some of the BDPA representatives will see this message and share their thoughts on the Techie Camp pilot program as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001965827509309490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783961988388753859.post-7837166381453918462011-02-10T16:29:19.627-05:002011-02-10T16:29:19.627-05:00I am in Houston DP.
