Innoverge’s Remote Learning Program 2020

Hello everyone, and welcome to Innoverge’s Latest Updates Page. To start off, we will be covering the 2020 Remote Learning Program launched in November-December of 2020!

Through this 3-week program, we shipped free STEM kits to 15 families across the US, spending $237. Students were encouraged to explore chemistry, physics, and entrepreneurship through a hands-on approach. Here is a brief run-down of what students learned!

Week 1: Participants built circuits of wires and light bulbs to learn about the properties of electricity! Students built both a series and a parallel circuit at the end of the session.

Week 2: Students learned about chemistry and Newton’s Laws of Motion. They experimented with vinegar, baking soda, and Alka Seltzer to make a rocket.

Week 3: At the end of the program, students developed a project using their newfound chemistry and physics knowledge. They were given “space scenarios” and developed engineering-based solutions to issues given.

After watching the positive impact of the Remote Learning Program, we are expanding this program in 2021, bringing free STEM kits to youth in more communities nationwide.
