2nd CLEE STEM Camp in Alcoa – Sept. 2013!

BCTphotoSTEMcamp2013The Center for Literacy, Education and Employment has again received funding from  Alcoa Foundation to implement our innovative STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) project with Alcoa Elementary School.

This funding will support approximately 20 students from Alcoa Elementary School, in Tennessee, to spend one week at a camp featuring engaging STEM learning activities.  Families of the campers will also be involved through family literacy activities that strengthen parents’ ability to support their children’s STEM development.  In addition, Alcoa retirees will be invited participate and share their expertise, continuing to make the Alcoa STEM Camp a true community endeavor.

We invite you to  support STEM Camp at Alcoa Elementary School  during September 2013!  If you would like to join forces with CLEE for this one-of-a-kind experience, please consider making a donation for that purpose.  No amount is too small or too large.  We have a golden opportunity to create a groundbreaking effort toward STEM training in Tennessee, and you can help.
