With the ever-present pandemic causing parents and students to rethink their education on a daily basis, giving students the opportunity to explore their career interests in high school is more important than ever.
Stride, Inc. invites students nationwide to explore their future, enhance their resume, and build skills in tech, entrepreneurship, or creative arts to take part in one of Stride’s 2022 Enrichment Programs. Students do not need to be enrolled in a Stride-powered school to participate in these leading-edge programs as they explore the following career fields:
Technology:
Video Game Design and Mobile App Development are built for the student with no coding experience where they can learn to build their own app or video game.
If Robotics or Virtual Reality Development is your student’s niche, they can learn the ‘nuts and bolts’ of the tech world while gaining skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, computational thinking, and problem-solving.
