Description
The SustainIT STEMbridge program is a series of one-week summer camps developed around the intersection of computer science and select sustainability topics. Teachers will receive training prior to the arrival of students then participate in the camp as Teaching Assistants alongside industry volunteers from STEMEd Labs and the lead teacher for two afternoons. While students can elect to attend a subset of these camps, they’re designed to be consumed consecutively for the greatest benefit.
Teachers will commit to a minimum of one week of camp but are welcome to attend two and/or the full three weeks. Registration is limited to 20 teachers per week.
