DO-IT Pals
by Darin Stageberg
You've heard of the DO-IT Scholars. You've heard of the DO-IT
Campers. You've heard of the DO-IT Mentors. Well, watch out for the
DO-IT Pals! DO-IT Pals form an electronic community of pre-college
students with disabilities from around the world, who support one
another in their efforts to pursue college degrees and careers in
science, engineering, mathematics, and technology. They communicate
with each other, get advice from DO-IT Mentors, and participate in
projects throughout the year. To become a DO-IT Pal, you must meet the
following requirements:
- be a high school Freshman, Sophomore, or Junior
- have access to a computer and the Internet
- be interested in attending a 2- or 4-year college
- have interests in science, engineering, mathematics, or technology
- want to communicate and work together with other students with disabilities who have common interests
