A new summer program from tech education startup inventXYZ is inviting students in grades eight through 12 to remotely develop their tech skills in a way that connects digital tools and skills to the traditional school classroom.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, inventsummer will use three remote tech projects to help students learn coding language Python, electronics and data visualization. The projects will also help students connect the work in tech to traditional classroom subjects.
