The Buckeye Women In Science, Engineering, and
Research Institute (B-WISER) was founded in
1990 by Dr. Lois Cook and the late Dr.
Theodore R. “Ted”Williams, who passed away
in 2005. Dr. Williams was a visionary who
tirelessly promoted careers in science and
engineering for women and minorities
throughout his career and was nationally
recognized for his efforts. The purpose of
the B-WISER Institute is to enhance girls’
interest in science and research.
The B-WISER Summer Science Camp is a
team-taught, hands-on, weeklong residential
experience in a state-of-the art science facility. The program is open to girls who have completed
the seventh grade. Dedicated to promoting the
interest of young women in science and engineering,
teachers provide each girl with a full laboratory
experience. There will be no textbooks or tests. During
the day, students take a full curriculum with classes in
chemistry, computer science, physics, life science,
robotics and earth science. In the evening, prominent
scientists share their enthusiasm in areas such as laser
techniques, boomerangs, and physics.
The cost is $475 with scholarships available for students in the reduced-lunch program.
