VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE

 

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced its inaugural goIT summer camp in Midland, Michigan - an expansion of the company’s annual goIT programme for students that began four years ago in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Midland camp is designed to foster high-school students’ interest in pursuing a career in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. 

During the summer camp, students participate in a series of analytical and interactive challenges surrounding the IT industry and specific computer science problems. The highlight of the camp is a robotics competition in which student teams program robots under the guidance of TCS mentors and then compete in a series of challenges, such as obstacle courses and automation activities. At the end of the summer camp, students are recognized for their achievements at a Parent-Student award ceremony. 

“At TCS, we know firsthand that to succeed in tomorrow’s workforce, students across America must have a solid foundation in STEM and be fluent in the technologies that will power the global economy of the 21st century. That is why we are so proud to expand the goIT programme into new regions of the country and extend its benefits to more students and inspire them to discover their potential to be leaders in science and technology,” said Surya Kant, President, TCS North America, UK and Europe.
