GARNET VALLEY, Pa., Dec. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Beginning in January 2022, the Chichester School District will offer an after-school STEM enrichment program to students in grades 1 through 4. The program is made possible by federal funds and will be conducted by S2STEM, a premier STEM education company based in Garnet Valley.
Once a week, students will stay after school for one hour to get homework help and practice science, technology, engineering, and math skills through hands-on STEM activities that range from coding and robotics challenges, to science experiments, and to engineering and team-building games. Led by S2STEM’s certified, trained teachers, each club activity will be age-appropriate and related to the real world.
“Children are more engaged when the learning is enjoyable and relatable,” explains Santhi Chitturi, co-founder of S2STEM. “That’s why we focus on hands-on activities that are connected to the real world. They’re having fun and learning at the same time.”
S2STEM’s new two-year partnership with the Chichester School District follows a series of successful camp programs that S2STEM organized last summer. Seeing the children’s enthusiasm and believing in the importance of STEM education to properly prepare students for a technology-driven world, Chichester School District’s Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Diana I. Hanobeck, says, “We are excited to bring a STEM learning experience to all of our elementary schools. Early opportunities in STEM may encourage students to take more challenging STEM coursework as they get older and possibly even pursue a STEM-related career.”
