About ECU’s AIG Add-on Licensure
As with all AIG licenses in the state of North Carolina, the program entails completing four courses. At ECU, our courses run in a four course sequence which begins in the summer and concludes the following summer. All of the courses required by the AIG Licensure Program at ECU are taught online, with the exception of two face-to-face weeks (one the first summer and one the second summer) involving a camp for gifted children.
About ECU/PCS AIG Camp
The ECU/PCS AIG camp is an annual summer camp for Pitt County AIG students. This camp began in 2005 and has grown each year. We will host 120 gifted students this summer. Along with PCS master teachers, ECU faculty and students will offer a week of rigorous enrichment for your child.
This summer’s curriculum theme is INTERACTIONS. Whether the students are learning about photojournalism, robotics, cryptography, or other exciting topics they will investigate numerous aspects of interactions in our world. Following an opening morning session, students will participate in interactions-themed sessions. Students will be able to select topics that match their interests and all topics will include hands-on activities and interactive use of technology. Snacks will be served daily.
