Fifth-Third Bank, Columbus, OH has generously committed $7,000 of grant support to the 2006 Digital Animation: A Technology Mentoring Program for Young Women. Digital Animation is a free summer program for 8th and 9th grade girls. Each year the program selects fifteen young women with exhibited artistic potential to work with mentors from arts and technology fields at The Ohio State University. For two weeks, the select group of young women works with women mentors using problem-solving skills and collaborative learning to create digital animation projects.
