A New Summer Program to Support
STEM Preparation from a Young Age!
|
|
It’s one of America’s founders who noted that “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” Starting this summer, parents of rising 7th through 9th graders will have the opportunity to invest in their child’s growth of knowledge by signing them up for ASMS’s STEM Leadership Academy summer camp! ASLA will provide students a wide array of STEM-related learning options that includes courses such as 3D Printing and Design, Block-Based Programming with Scratch, CyberPatriots Basic Cyber Program, Creative Chemistry: Workshop of Chaos, Intro to Computer Graphics, Robotics, Rocketry, Underwater Robot Mission, and so much more!
Additionally, ASLA will help plant the seeds of leadership potential by providing leadership training that will cover essential skills that all young leaders need to develop and cultivate to maximize their potential. In the evenings, campers will close out their day engaging in a host of sports, arts/crafts, and other elective courses that will provide an engaging and fun time while they bond with and build lasting relationships with their peers.
The “interest” parents can expect to see from their student attending ASLA will be that of a young person whose been motivated with a desire to learn, a passion to lead, and an enhanced value of friendship and community!
