The Importance of Exploring STEM & STEAM through Camps and Classes

Summer camps and after school programs offer extensive benefits. Most importantly, these programs can inspire your child to learn about new concepts and subjects outside of a traditional classroom environment. Exposing kids to STEM and STEAM experiences can help them build resilience when they take on new challenges in the future. Learning is fun because it is for the sake of learning and not just a grade.

Studies have shown that children not only enjoy this active learning, but that it is more effective than traditional educational experiences. Learning from programs like FIRST, Camp Invention, and ID Tech help kids to thrive in the future and develop crucial experiential skills.

Participating in STEM camps and classes allow kids to immerse themselves in a concentrated subject that interests them, from building a digital playground to fostering an innovation mindset. Project-based camps and classes keep kids actively involved in problem-solving with their peers while being guided by a teacher, coach, or mentor.

When taking on higher level camp and class challenges, kids can keep their brains active while building communication skills and perseverance. Having the opportunity to then apply these skills to more than one project helps them reinforce confidence in their new abilities and continue to explore new challenges.

Camp counselors can see new gifts they hold and inspire kids to keep innovating, exploring and growing. The ability to make new friends and share new experiences also helps their social and emotional skills grow and expand with every new camp and class they participate in.
