Chemours Company grant provides summer learning for students

By Staff Report, posted 4 years ago

Everyone in business was a child once, and can understand the importance of cultivating curiosity and growth in the future generation. 

By providing a grant, The Chemours Company helped children in the region to experience education in a collaborative and entertaining way this summer.

“We were so excited to see how well the children collaborated,” said Kristin Reeder, Fayetteville Academy teacher and camp facilitator. “The children even continued to flex their engineering and problem-solving skills in their free time.”

The sponsorship created an opportunity for students from T.C. Berrien Elementary School, W.T. Brown Elementary School and Fayetteville Academy’s Lower School to participate in a week-long, STEAM-oriented summer camp at Fayetteville Academy’s SmartLab. 

Attendees learned about sustainability, alternative energy and robotics.

Each day had a different focus. Some of the topics covered each day included carbon footprints, sustainable building and energy practices, coding and control technology, and community planning.
