Local learning academy Best in Class Education Centers has been working with local students to combat learning loss resulting from the pandemic. Part of their efforts to get students engaged in learning is a partnership with the Aerospace, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Texas A&M University to introduce high school students to STEM, or science, technology, engineering and math. Participants in the summer camp will gain an introduction to artificial intelligence and machine learning; coding using Python programming language; building AI products with trained eyes supervising their work; and technical reading and writing skills.

The program will last 10 weeks with campers engaging in in-person and online sessions. Officials are offering three free spots to local deserving students. The students selected for the free admission will be selected based on evidence of academic achievement in high school, interest in science and technology careers, their resume and a letter of intent explaining how the camp will benefit them in their academic journey.
