STEM at Shoestring!

Next time our Communications Director needs to edit some code on our website, she may be asking a 3rd grader! This year at Project Rise, we’ve partnered with CS For Y’all to provide coding lessons to all students in our program. With the support of their teacher, CS For Y’all Fellow Lyndsey, our campers will learn how to code via Scratch to animate their own stories. 

Our summer camp Project Rise creates access to opportunities for families and the support necessary to take advantage of those opportunities—from coding to cooking lessons. Thanks to CS For Y’all and our many STEM-focused partners, over 170 children this summer will be exposed to careers and skills that are in high demand in our state and country. Summer programs like ours are more than a safe place to play. They’re spaces where children gain access to opportunities and experiences that can alter the trajectory of their entire life.
