The Center for Gravitational Wave Astronomy (CGWA) at the University of
Texas at Brownsville (http://cgwa.phys.utb.edu/) plans to host a Summer
Academy for High School students during June 6-July 12. The program,
with Professor Richard Price as the main adviser, is titled "21st
Century Astronomy Ambassador's Program".

Nine motivated high school students will be trained in modern GW, IR,
UV, Gamma ray and Radio Astronomy and Data Analysis techniques. These
students (deemed "Ambassadors") will be also trained in making
scientific presentations and will be asked to commit to making
presentations to other students and science clubs throughout the
following year. The program will enable them to receive college credits
at UTB. CGWA will fully fund the program and provide a $1000
scholarship to each of the selected students.
