KSU Summer Programs
Young Writer's Workshop
Interested students will need to complete an application, found here.
Students will also need a letter of recommendation from a teacher. Teachers will email the letter directly to Dr. Katy Karlin at KSU.
GROW/EXCITE Opportunity
These Summer Workshops are designed to be exploration events that expose and increase interest in STEM disciplines. From June 1-5, K-State faculty, staff, and students will lead live interactive sessions such as hands-on activity demonstrations, lab tours, career chats, and more! KAWSE staff will also provide daily interactions, such as morning/afternoon check-ins, and a few fun (optional) afternoon activities like trivia night. From June 6-10, pre-recorded camp materials will be accessible for students to browse at their own pace. We'll be using Canvas and Zoom as our platforms, both of which can be accessed using a computer, tablet, or smart phone.
There are scholarships available to cover the cost of student registrations. This funding is made possible thanks to the support of our partners, so it is limited. However, we anticipate being able to cover the cost of ALL students who register. As such, please encourage any of your students who wish to participate to submit their name for consideration.
Technology
Returning Students
Students, see your Trooper Time teachers instructions on how to "turn in" your device. You will need to submit pictures of your computer, charger, and case with the ID numbers showing on each.
