What We'll Teach
The STEMThink Summer Camps will focus on teaching participants app and website development from scratch, as well as integrating STEMThink's mental health curriculum within daily lessons (participants will learn what mental health is, why it's important, what mental disabilities are, and how to maintain good mental health). At the end of the program, participants will develop an app or webpage that advocates for an issue in their community, connecting tech with activism. We'll also be inviting three guest speakers from a diverse range of tech companies to each session to talk about balancing mental health and their career. |
