Illumony 2024 Summer Camp

Illumony organized a summer program for students to receive enhanced educational experiences and resources on a variety of subjects, from English to mathematics.

Our team of volunteers worked with students on an individual basis for hours each day, helping them learn and grow over the course of our program. We also ran a brand-new event series focused on helping students learn content through hands-on experiences, featuring engineering-based projects like building towers and other structures to chemistry-focused activities like making oobleck while learning about non-Newtonian fluids.

Through these events, our students were able to gain a deeper understanding of these advanced subjects like never before. Overall, our students were able to improve greatly in every subject matter and interact significantly with unfamiliar fields of study.

Camp

Illumony 2023 Summer Camp

To provide individualized mentorship for underprivileged students, Illumony ran a summer program for a total of seven weeks this summer, where our members provided active assistance to students for up to nine hours every day. Under the mentorship of our members, many students gained a newfound appreciation and passion for learning a variety of subjects, including English, mathematics, public speaking, science, etc.

With our dynamic classroom environments, students elevated their critical reading and writing skills through book discussions, short essays, and daily vocabulary exercises, as well as their collaboration and communication abilities through group activities and oral presentations. In STEM classes, our members guided students of all ages, from early elementary schoolers to high schoolers, to help them develop a deeper understanding in mathematics and science.

Whether it be through curated problem sets or classroom scientific demonstrations, our team strived to inspire all students to see the beauty in STEM and its real life applications. Overall, students who attended the summer program showed great improvement in various subjects and were able to learn through close one on one engagement with members of the Illumony team.
