Health Sciences Summer Camp

Goal: Provide an opportunity for middle and high school students from throughout Travis County to learn about the various health professions and take part in hands-on health sciences experiments

• Earn CPR or First Aid certification
• Participation in human cadaver dissection
• Exposure to a range of instruction in clinical simulation labs
• Hands-on experiences with EKGs & ultrasounds
• 3D technology demonstrations
• Neuroscience and chemistry experiments

By Gender:

• Female: 75
• Male: 17

By Race:

• Hispanic/Latino, any race: 38
• White, not Hispanic/Latino: 26
• Black, not Hispanic/Latino: 9
• Asian, not Hispanic/Latino: 7
• 2+ races, not Hispanic/Latino: 4

• Strong representation of women, especially for the Middle School camp
  • Glad to see this, especially given the formative worldviews shaped in middle school
• No Black men
  • This is a misrepresentation, as I know there were some black boys present
  • However, this is based on reported race… It might be that black men didn't feel comfortable disclosing their race
• 2:1 ratio of English only speakers to Spanish speakers
  • Not representitive of the current/future population of Austin
  • Even still, impressive considering the status quo
