49ers Launch Football and STEM Academy Summer Camp Program

Last week, the San Francisco 49ers launched its Football and STEM Academy summer camp program to extend the organization’s impact on youth education about football and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) concepts. The three-day camp, which began on Wednesday, June 22 and ran through Friday, June 24, hosted more than 80 local students from grades 3-8 and centered on the science of sports, fusing football skills and STEM learning.

In addition to discovering the important values of education and fitness, the camp afforded students with specially-designed activities that teach the fundamentals of football and STEM while learning how to apply important life skills such as respect, responsibility, sportsmanship and teamwork.
