  1. RECOMMENDATION
    2.

    With this application, we are attaching a recommendation form. We ask that you give this form to a past or current teacher that you feel could tell us more about you, why you are a good candidate for the Artemis program, and qualities that make you stand out, especially in an educational or cooperative setting. Please ask your teacher to seal the recommendation letter in an envelope. Return this envelope to us together with the rest of your application.

  2. SHORT-ANSWER QUESTIONS
    3.

    Please answer these short questions in a few sentences on a separate sheet of paper. Your answers may be typed or neatly written.

    1. What do you usually do in the summer? Have you attended any summer programs before (if so, which ones)?
    2. Why are you interested in the Artemis Project?
    3. What subjects and activities interest you most?
    4. Previous computer experience is NOT a requirement for this program, and will not count either for or against you. However, we would like to know if you have used a computer before, and if so, for what purposes?

     

  3. ESSAY

We are including these essay questions because we want to know more about you, your interests, and your ambitions. Please choose two questions and answer them on a separate sheet of paper. Again, these should be typed or neatly written. Your answers should be about a page long for each question.

  1. Pretend it is the end of your senior year of high school, and you are giving a speech to your graduating class. Tell them about your most meaningful achievements in your four years of high school. What was involved in achieving them? Did you face any difficulties in the process? Feel free to come up with creative and original achievements!

  2. Tell us about a particular homework assignment, project, paper, or production you have worked on that means something to you. What made it important or worthwhile for you? Did you work alone or with a group, and what responsibilities did you have? Did any challenges come up along the way, and if so, how did you resolve them?

    3.

  3. A lot of different people are involved in producing a daily newspaper. For example, there are writers who gather information and explain it in articles; editors who work with the writers to make their articles better and to make sure that the newspaper has all the articles it needs; layout designers who decide how each page should look and how to fit in all the articles, photographs, and advertisements; photographers, artists, columnists, advertisers, and many, many more...

    4. Suppose you were working on a major paper like the Boston Globe or the Providence Journal. What position would you choose, and why? Feel free to choose any of the ones we mentioned above, or to find out about any other jobs that are part of creating a newspaper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am sincerely interested in participating in the Artemis Project this summer. I understand that it meets daily, 9:00 am to 3:30 pm, from July 1 through August 2, 2002 plus a family event on Saturday, August 3.
