Gwen in VA, can we talk about Materials Science

[Sharon in MD]

My ds thinks he might want to go into materials and I noticed that you mentioned you studied in this field. Would you mind a correspondence sharing a bit of your wisdom?

Thanks

[Gwen in VA]

Sure. It's a wide field with lots of fascinating applications. I'll PM you.

Sharon, I know you're probably all set on summer camp ideas, but it looks the there is a nice one for high school students on Materials Science, at various places each summer (and it's free!)... just an idea and a way to learn more about the field...

We are hoping that ds will get to go to a program at Drexel....I think you and I talked about that on another thread earlier.

We might be able to look into the camp at penn state (residential) if he doesn't get in Drexel's program. The Drexel camp might be nice too, but it is a commuter camp so we'd have to stay in hotel or something.

The dead line will be close though....Drexel may not let us know about their program in time to be able to submit the one to ASM.....we'll just have to wait and see I guess.

Thanks so much !!
