SUMMER SMART is a five-week STEM [science, technology, engineering, math] activity challenge for kids and their parents/families.
The program includes a simple curriculum guide to follow where kids and their families can participate and can use their cell phone to create a video or photo collage based on the guiding principles of a STEM lessons/curriculum.
Mission:Ignite will release a new challenge each week that will provide guiding instructions of how to create and post a video or a photo collage for the competition.
Every Monday morning a new challenge is released in a video created by Jerry Hughes and Lorenzo Alexander. The Students have all week until Friday at 2 PM to work on their video or photo collage. Students are encouraged to include their siblings and parents, pets and friends to be involved if they choose. A team of judges will review the uploaded videos and photos and the very next week – the winners will be announced.
