Deadline extended for Camp
The waterbotics camp hosted by the Kentucky Girls STEM Collaborative is now open to rising ninth grade girls and boys. The camp, called "RoboKats," runs 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. July 25-29. Students will discover how robotics are changing the world as they work together to design, construct, program and operate an underwater vessel. The registration deadline has been extended to July 15 for students still wishing to sign up for the camp.
Carol Hanley, co-chair of the Kentucky Girls STEM Collaborative, said she decided to open the camp up to all students because the option for a career in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is something that everyone should consider.
"All students should get the opportunity to learn about robotics and computer programming," Hanley said.
No prior experience is necessary to participate. The program will be held at the University of Kentucky's E. S. Good Barn at 1451 University Drive in Lexington. The cost of registration is $100. A $50 refund is given for perfect attendance, and scholarships are available.
The Kentucky Girls STEM Collaborative Project brings together organizations and programs that are committed to informing and motivating girls to pursue educational choices in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to build a strong, diverse workforce in Kentucky.

Affordable Health Care
No health insurance? Affordable health care is closer than you think.
Doctors are now seeing patients at William Wells Brown Elementary School. For the past month, doctors have been seeing patients at the school from from 3 to 6 p.m. each Tuesday evening. With schools closed, the clinic is now seeing patients from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays.
The clinic accepts health insurance but also sees patients on a sliding scale determined by their income.
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO HAVE A CHILD WHO ATTENDS THE SCHOOL.
The extended hours at William Wells are a pilot project that may be expanded at that school and replicated at the other school clinics.
Additionally, several schools have school clinics - Tates Creek, Arlington and Harrison elementary schools - that offer extended service and can both diagnose and treat various illnesses or refer students for additional dental or healthcare.
For more info, call: William Wells Brown Community Clinic, 555 E. Fifth Street, Lexington, (859) 381-3172.
