[Ellen Loehman]

Do you have 10th or 11th grade high school students who are excelling in
your classroom and who would benefit from a no cost,  hands-on
experience in materials science?  Then please encourage them to apply by
March 31st to participate in one of the 2008 ASM Materials Camp(r) -
Students.  Complete information and an online application form can be
found at:

Having participated in the ASM Materials Camp - Teachers, you know the
value of the hands-on educational experience to excite students in
science and math.  The Student Materials Camps feature hands-on
demonstrations led by materials scientists, engineers, and graduate
students designed to engage the students in the educational experience.
The Camps range in length from 1-day Mini-Camps that provide a hands-on
introduction to science with a focus on Materials Science
demonstrations, to 5-day residential Camps with the students conducting
a failure analysis and gaining a broad understanding of concepts ranging
from heat treating to nanotechnology.

A total of 30 Student Camps are being planned for 2008 at locations
across North American and in India as well.  Encourage your students to
applying for a Camp in your area or one of the residential Camps
