The Tech Summer Camps Director, Stephanie Chang
Stephanie Chang graduated from MIT with a major in Biology and minors in both Science, Technology & Society and Biomedical Engineering. After a stint in Washington, DC, in science policy research, she moved to California to explore the wonders of the West Coast. After teaching marine science and outdoor education on boats in the Bay, Stephanie was named year-round Director for The Tech Summer Camps in October 2007. She's thrilled to continue improving and expanding the program, and is ready to bring The Tech Summer Camps to a new level for 2010!
A Note from Stephanie
Welcome to The Tech Summer Camps! As we prepare for our eighth year, I'm excited to have so many great families involved in our science and technology summer community. We're still innovating, imagining, exploring and building. As a result, we will have 19 amazing classes this year, 3 of which are brand new. In addition to classes, you should expect more camp fun and inspiring instructors to spark your interests and passions. I look forward to seeing you all this summer!
