Tata Consultancy Services Ltd.

Tata Consultancy Services, (TCS) the leading IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, has completed its fifth annual golT summer camp program in the Cincinnati area. The summer camp exposes students to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) related career paths, while providing hands on activities and projects that increase exposure to industry specific technologies. The three day camp culminated with a competition at TCS' largest North American software delivery center in Milford, Ohio. Local colleges and universities were also on-site to meet with the students and see the competition firsthand.

Free for all students, the TCS golT program provides in-school IT career awareness workshops and hands-on technology education. Since its inception, the program has reached more than 7,000 students across 35 school districts in Ohio and Michigan. It is led by TCS volunteers who host workshops and other training targeted toward introducing students to new technologies and providing IT career awareness. These technology workshops range from basic programming lessons to open source 3D modeling.

Throughout the summer camp, students were involved in a number of design, development and implementation projects. These include programming robots using mobile programming technology to run chariot races, joust arid storm the castle. The teams used open source 3-D modeling tools to design a 'Coat of Arms' for their robots. Each design was judged based on a set of criteria and during the final challenge the last robot with its coat of arms still attached won.
