CTY Summer Employment 2006

CTY conducts the nation's oldest and most extensive academic talent search and offers educational programming for students with exceptionally high academic ability.

For more than 20 years, the Center for Talented Youth (CTY) at Johns Hopkins University has identified America's top academic students in grades two through eight and provided challenging educational programs through their 10th grade year. Students who score at or above the 95th percentile on standardized tests normally taken in school are invited to participate in CTY's Talent Search, during which they take an additional set of standardized tests used to measure mathematical and verbal reasoning. Qualifying students may choose to enroll in CTY programs including summer residential programs, online courses, and one-day conferences on special topics. CTY also publishes Imagine, a five-issue-per-year periodical that is full of opportunities and resources for gifted students.

MS Access help needed

From Cheri Doane:
Second, one of the service-learning sites in Newton seeks help with a project involving MS Access. They may have some funds to pay a student, or in some cases it might be possible to enroll in some x credit for this. (The technology work itself wouldn't count toward x hours, but it may be possible to add some x contact.) This organization is Progress Industries, and their work is similar to that of COC. Their website is currently under construction, but I can provide lots of info about the site. (They could probably use a web design student as well :) Have students call if they're interested.
