Camp Google

 

Camp Google is a free online summer camp for kids. 

Kids ask all sorts of questions from what's at the bottom of the ocean, to how far is space, where volcanoes come from, and why does music make me move? We wanted to create an online program that encouraged all these questions so we worked with Google to create a month long camp for kids full of fun science projects and interactive adventures led by experts from Google, National Geographic, NASA, The National Parks Service and Zendaya.

Camp Wonderopolis Summer Learning

 

Camp Wonderopolis® is the free online summer-learning destination that's full of fun, interactive STEM and literacy-building topics boosted by Maker experiments!

Keeping kids and their families learning together throughout the summer and out-of-school time, Camp Wonderopolis can help build vocabulary, background knowledge in science, reading comprehension, critical thinking, and other literacy skills along the way.

5 Book Drive

The 5 Book Dive is an Austin ISD summer reading program to encourage all students to read at least five self-selected books over the summer. Summer is a great time for students to relax with a book (or magazine, or comic, etc.) and experience the pleasure of reading just for fun! And research has shown that reading just five books can protect students from a drop in reading levels. Beat the summer slide and take the 5 Book Dive!
