Students can connect with experts, grow their skills, and plan
for career success with new offerings from ed. tech. leader
A leader in education for over 20 years, Stride, Inc. (NYSE:
LRN) is bringing its expertise in online education delivery into
extracurriculars with the launch of Stride Enrichment, programs for
students everywhere. The web-based educational content is designed
for students to cultivate skills and build their portfolios outside
of the traditional classroom or club setting.
The benefits of extracurricular activities are widely known,
including improved self-esteem, social-emotional learning, and
academic performance. But access to quality programs is often
limited by where a student lives or attends school. To address the
potentially harmful lack of access to quality programs, Stride
Enrichment’s more than 30 online programs in technology, creative
arts, business, fitness, and more will foster learning and
connection from anywhere they can get online, while providing
experiences that set them up for future success.
“As today’s tech-savvy students look to expand their horizons
and remain competitive in their college and career journey, Stride
Enrichment will help them plan for their future,” said Karen
Ghidotti, Senior Vice President for Customer Experience at Stride.
“For more than two decades, Stride has helped students take
learning to the next level with curriculum and programs that ignite
their passions. We are excited to show more students that the
potential for their future really is endless.”
Designed for students as young as kindergarten, programs will
give students the space to explore their passions and create
valuable additions to their resumes or portfolios. Students can
connect with a range of industries, gain essential skills, find new
ways to expand their horizons, and connect with peers who share
their creative pursuits and interests.
Highlights of the variety of free and tuition-based programs
launching this month include:
- Presented in partnership with Wonder Media, students in
Intro to Storytelling will learn how stories are brought to
life as they go behind the scenes of the Story Maker® animation
platform. Terry Thoren, the CEO of Wonder Media -- a global
production team producing cause-related animated stories viewed by
more than a billion people worldwide – designed Story Maker® to
give all students equitable access to the skills necessary to
create shareable animation stories.
- Middle and high school students interested in making their own
video games can enroll in programs that will introduce them to game
design in Roblox and Scratch Coding, as well as Minecraft
Modding Quest offered in partnership with Create & Learn.
Founded by tech experts, Create & Learn is an award-winning
STEM program with the mission of providing top-quality computer
science education to K-12 students. The beginner-friendly Minecraft
Modding Quest will introduce students in grades 3-6 to basic coding
and advance towards more advanced puzzles and concepts.
- Students who want to design outside of the gaming arena can
explore design and video creation in Canva for Kids,
Discovering Digital Design, or even Intro to Interior
Design, where students will learn the basics of interior and
environmental design and how to create visually appealing settings
under the guidance of an experienced design professional.
- Students looking to get up and moving can participate in
Intro to Fitness to learn more about how to take control of
their physical health, or participate in a five-week movement
education, mindfulness practices, and fitness program with
Fit4Life, which also gives students access to a library of
on-demand content and lessons from PLT4M, the leader in educational
fitness for grades 6-12.
