By participating in the training, and leading at least one cyber camp this summer, additional opportunities are available for next spring break and summer as well. Retired high school teachers and college professors are eligible to participate as well.
TALK, your local tech council, and UPS have partnered to bring this exciting STEAM curricula to students in West Louisville and throughout Louisville. Attendees at the camp will be middle and high school students excited about math and science. Each cyber camp is a standalone event—curricula is repeated. The camps will be held at Louisville Central Community Center, and Neighborhood House.

• May 30 and May 31st, Tuesday and Weds. 9 AM to 3 PM at the Louisville Central Community Center, 1300 W Muhammad Ali Blvd, Louisville, KY 40203. Lunch will be a brown bag discussion opportunity. TALK provides the soft drinks/water.
