Verizon Innovative Learning, the education arm of the Verizon Foundation, is partnering with Howard University for a second year to offer free summer courses in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Students will get hands-on learning experiences in robotics, augmented reality, and 3D printing, and access to college-aged mentors.
Technology equipment will be provided for student usage and learning throughout the program.
According to Howard University, the Verizon Foundation, through its initiative Verizon Innovation Learning, works with middle school minority males to prepare them for the tech careers of the future. To date, Verizon has invested $200 million in this initiative and has reached more than one million students.
Following the summer courses, students will be invited to monthly after-school activities through the host campus, including local and virtual field trips and ongoing mentorship from adult male mentors working in STEM fields.
Registration is now open for the three-week program, which runs June 24-July 12 at the Howard University Middle School of Mathematics & Science.
