DO-IT scholars are selected because they have an expressed interest in science, engineering, mathematics, and technology and are interested in pursuing postsecondary education. During the initial phase of the program, DO-IT scholars are provided computers, any required adaptive technology, and personal internet accounts for use in their homes. During the summer study session, DO-IT scholars come together to participate in a series of workshops related to science, technology, math, and engineering. Some attention is also paid to college preparation and personal development. During the summer session students live in dorms on the campus of University of Washington, eat in the university cafeteria, and are given opportunities to explore the campus to become better acquainted with college life.
Students enroll in one regular summer school class in the morning.
In the afternoon students have academic tutoring for the class they are taking, as well as language skills development. The areas covered also include time management, organization, note taking skills, test taking strategies, and memory improvement. Additional fee for academic course. To top of page February 2001.
