49ers hold football, STEM summer academy

The San Francisco 49ers hosted a unique football camp last week which blended together two things not often spoken in the same sentence: Football and STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).

The camp was held from June 22nd through the 24th and hosted 80 kids from third grade through eighth grade in an atmosphere that blended football and STEM learning, specifically by focusing on the science of sports.

Said 49ers director of 49ers fan engagement and youth football, Jared Muela, per 49ers.com:

“It was important to us that the kids experience a fun and interactive camp, while also walking away with a greater appreciation for education, fitness and overall health.
