Where

University of Washington

What

DO-IT Summer Study is a chance the DO-IT Scholars to get together. The first year Scholars receive extensive online training and get a chance to see college life first hand while staying at McCarty Residence Hall. They attend sessions on a variety of topics such as

  • Biology- replacing a sheep's heart valve
  • Computer Science/Mathematics- discovering how math can be useful for finding information in digital images and creating special effects
  • Chemistry and Environmental Studies- participating in lab experiments to determine what's in Lake Washington water and how the water quality has an impact on environmental issues

Phase II Scholars participate in focused workshops and receive computer training on more advanced topics such as

  • WWW page design
  • Creating Camp Courage home page

Schedule Notes

  • It's expected that you will participate in all program activities.
  • Arrive promptly at all activities.
  • During open computer labs, complete daily evaluations, newletter articles, and other assignments.
  • We have created a wide variety of activities that, as a whole, provide academic, career and social preparation for post-high school experiences. DO-IT expects that you will not enjoy all of them equally. However, many people have contributed their time and talents to this program. Demonstrate your appreciation through your active participation and enthusiasm.
  • If you have special circumstances (for example, a need for extra rest time) that require that you skip an activity on the schedule, seek approval from a DO-IT staff member.
  • If you have suggestions for additional activities to add to the schedule, share your ideas with Sheryl Burgstahler, Kristin Otis, or Darin Stageberg. If you require special disability-related accommodations in order to participate in an activity, share your needs with the presenter or a DO-IT staff member.

Summer Study 1997 - Tuesday, August 5

Two of the DO-IT Interns (Shawn Latham and Mike Kuntz) have been assigned the task of summarizing the day's events. Here they are so far. We'll add new info each day.

Yesterday, the Phase I Scholars arrived in Seattle from all over country. After the Scholars were picked up at the airport or dropped off by their parents, they registered and were given a DO-IT treasure--the DO-IT T-shirt. DO-IT Staff, Interns, Mentors, and Scholars and their parents spent several hours getting to know one other.

After the introductions and a brief meeting, we went to the annual barbecue and participated in a exciting activity where the Scholars and Interns were paired up. The groups were given a list of quotes. They had to go around and ask questions to determine which Scholar, Intern, or staff had made the quote. Several examples were, "I have a pierced bellybutton," and " I accidentally shaved off my eyebrows."

After dinner, we went up to the dorm and the DO-IT Interns talked about their success in the community and college. By then, most of us were tired and were ready for bed. About half of the Scholars stayed up a little longer to watch a movie or chat with their new friends. At 11 pm, the lights were out!

Summer Study 1997 - Wednesday, August 6

Today was one of the funniest days for the Scholars. The highlight of the day was the Ski-For-All. First of all, the kids had breakfast and then they went down to the computer lab for the first of many classes. The first class was a beginning look at the Internet. After lunch the Scholars had a class on improving your mind for college. The professor ( Mr. Graham Allen) talked about how the kids must have a positive outlook on college. He also said that the average person only thinks about five minutes a day. We all thought that was kind of interesting.

After that we then went down to eat dinner before going out and doing Ski-For-All. Ski-For-All is a program that lets disabled kids ride special bikes for them. For example blind kids ride tandem bikes, which is where one person will direct the bike, and another person will just peddle. For one student (Justin) it was probably one of the funniest days of his life. He rode five different bikes and enjoyed all of them. Then we did our evening activities and went to bed.

Summer Study 1997 - Thursday, August 7

Thursday we started the day with a talk on the World Wide Web. The Interns showed us a couple of neat pages. For example, Matthew Porter showed us his home page which has interesting Java effects and has a lot of links to other sights. After that Sheryl Burgstahler talked about how kids with disabilities communicate with faculty. For the work based learning experiences the Scholars learned about how to find internships. After lunch John Smith talked about how earthquakes form, and how Seattle might go under someday. Then when Kurt Sahl took the floor the kids learned about working in groups; when they formed groups they where given a problem to solve as a group. Last but certainly not least was the treasure hunt. The treasure hunt is where you read the clue, and then you have to find the right building for that clue. The Scholars did the treasure hunt in groups. After that we all took a break for the night.

Summer Study 1997 - Friday, August 8

Today we started the day with a talk on how to subscribe to a mailing list. The Scholars learned that mailing lists differ on not only on their subjects, but also on how to subscribe to them. Then they got a talk on what career is right for them. They learned to keep their interests to a couple, because one interest or career might not work out so then they can try there interests. After the afternoon activity, we got ready for the Mariners game. We all saw Randy Johnson (The Mariners pitcher) throw 19 strikeouts in a 5 to 0 victory for the Mariners.

One report was about how a woman raced in a wheelchair, another one was about how a guy used a talking device to talk. Last but not least we had an unbelievable talent show.

The biggest story of that lab was Justin ripped off a sheep heart. When we all came back for lunch we got to meet the members of the DO-IT Advisory Board. Danny Delcombre was a speaker for us. Danny Delcombre talked about how you can never give up no matter what disability you have. Danny is deaf and blind. His speech was voiced by a sign language interpreter. The Phase II'ers listened to Darin & Julie talk about interviewing strategies. they practiced their skits with employers. At the same time Phase I had an on-line treasure hunt.

Summer Study 1997 - Thursday, August 14

We started the day with an interesting talk on note taking, test taking, and test anxiety management for Phase I. For the Phase II it was back to work on their weekly assignment. Next for Phase I was a talk on how hurricanes form, and how they can be so destructive. After lunch all the Scholars went to talk about the Mars launch. The highlight of the day was the dance we had at the By George cafe. Everybody learned the Macarena, The Three Step, and of course the Congo. Justin, one of the Scholars, sang two songs. After that we were ready for lights out.
