This challenge has a simple solution — integrate STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) into your summer program! Pairing a flexible learning environment with subject exposure increases learning retention in a manner that’s so invigorating campers won’t even realize they’re learning. Let’s dive in.

When students engage in a STEM challenges, their emotions can range from utter frustration to extreme jubilation. Some students may struggle during this phase of the design process. Sometimes students just need to know that this is something that designers and engineers face all the time. I can’t do this!

The National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) had told science teachers that kids learn science best through a hands-on, interactive, student-centered, and inquiry-based approach (see NSTA Position Statement ). My students and I had been sent home for the rest of the school year. Fast-forward to spring 2021. Gorrall, B.K.
