Summary:
|
The District is seeking board approval of a new, one year only, partnership with Kidzeum. Thirty 3rd and 4th grade students will participate in a five-week summer camp, held at Kidzeum of Health and Science. Kidzeum is offering a full day summer camp focused on STEM/STEAM, literacy and social-emotional learning through exploration and play. Topics will be wide-ranging, from pollinators, body systems and art, to engineering and technology (coding, drones, rockets, and 3D printing). This camp will change weekly over the course of the summer, so students remain engaged and are always learning something new. This camp runs Monday-Friday from 8:30-3:30. The dates are July 5-August 5, 2022. This partnership will allow Springfield School District students to attend the camp at no cost. ARP ESSER III funds will be used to support this partnership at a total cost of $42,750.
