While kids often experience a “summer slide” of learning loss over summer break, experts warn this year will see an especially challenging “COVID-19 slide”: many students will fall nearly a full year behind in math as a result of school disruptions and canceled summer camps due to ongoing social distancing.1 Camp:ASPIRE offers a home-based solution to keep children between the ages of 8 and 16 learning, problem solving, and expanding their STEM skills through multiple week-long class offerings that include expert, interactive virtual instruction combined with real, hands-on robot building kits delivered to your door.
Underscoring a commitment to help address inequities in STEM education, UBTECH and the STEM Learning Ecosystems are also providing funds that support equitable access to vital STEM learning resources. Up to 10 percent of revenue from Camp:ASPIRE, with a minimum of $100,000, will be directly reinvested as scholarships awarded to students for whom a summer robotics program would otherwise be out of reach. Information about applying can be found at the Camp:ASPIRE website.
