Science In Our World

Cummings Science and Technology Awarded Library of Congress TPS Grant

This combination of summer camps and afterschool programs offers high-quality programs to enhance student exposure to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) topics and careers. The program is presented to students in the Frank Callen Boys & Girls Clubs of Savannah, Georgia, as well as to students around the country through a virtual program. While infusing STEM examples from research and applications to real world situations, students learn that STEM is everywhere in their world. Teaching With Primary Sources (TPS) is a viable resource used to promote this much-needed collaboration between schools and community organizations. The program will also build an awareness of the Library of Congress (LOC) STEM education resources and use the LOC's digitized primary sources to engage students, develop critical thinking skills, and build knowledge of STEM careers.
