Recently, the Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) members and students from the community teamed up to teach kids science and math as a part of a 2 week STEM Summer Camp (8/25-9/3) in the area.
It is a daily summer camp for the students, who learn a different subject each day. Because of COVID-19, the camp now takes place through Zoom with counselors making slideshows or preparing material electronically in advance. For science, the plan is to teach the students about the human body and the weather. For math, the plan is to teach the students about patterns and shapes.
On August 25, the first day of the STEM Summer Camp, GPA member Annie Miao taught rising 1st graders about the human body, reviewing the names of body parts and teaching them various human organs. During the 1.5 hours, they learned about 12 different organs, along with basic functions of each and some fun facts. Taught through Zoom and by going through a Slideshow with a Kahoot at the end to review.
