Club Supports Summer STEM Programs

At our May 6th meeting, President Mary Martin presented a check for $2266.00 to Melissa Vanek, Director of Starbase Academy. This donation will provide much-needed bus transportation for East Hartford students to attend Starbase Academy's new summer camp location in Windsor. Starbase Academy provides a variety of hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) activities that help strengthen the students' understanding of these topics. Studies have proven that children who remain engaged in learning activities over the summer do better when they return to school in the fall. Thanks to this donation, East Hartford students will benefit from two weeks of summer camp at Starbase.
