100737 - Summer Enrichment Experience at Virginia Tech

Overview

The SEE VT program employs a place framework designed to meet the social-emotional needs of learners by addressing topics such as stereotype threat and rural poverty while introducing STEM and arts opportunities that emphasize a connection to home and community. In morning sessions, students used the FEW Nexus to explore the connections between Food, Energy, and Water and how engineering can help generate solutions to challenges rural communities may experience in making these resources available to all community members. In afternoon sessions, students wrote, produced, and acted in place-based creative performances which focused on their personal reflections of place. Counselors led participating students in fun and engaging evening activities as well!
