The school year is looking a bit different this year as countries around the world work to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Whether your kids are going to school or learning from home, Jump Simulation continues to provide ways for students to stay engaged in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math.
The Jump STEAM at Home Series is an effort to do just that! The interactive program, designed to be completed at home, gives young people the chance to gain hands-on experiences in everything from dissection to learning how engineering is used in medicine. The intent is to your kids’ minds to career possibilities in health care.
Jump STEAM at Home will continue to offer live courses throughout the year. For families who need more flexibility, on-demand courses are also available.
