| Digital Animation: A Technology
Mentoring Program for Young Women is a
free summer program that teaches rising 8th and
9th grade girls how to create computer-generated
animation. Each year the program selects young
women with exhibited artistic potential to work
with mentors from arts and technology fields at
The Ohio State University. For two weeks, the
select group of young women works with women
mentors using problem-solving skills and
collaborative learning to create digital
animation projects. The program is offered by
the Advanced Computing Center for Arts and
Design, a research center in OSU's College of
the Arts and one of the premiere animation
education centers in the world. Click for
