Collaboration with GEAR UP
Avetec and GEAR UP are currently working together to provide the STARS program, an after-school program for 5th graders at Perrin Woods and Lincoln elementary schools. Through STARS, the students do hands-on math, science, and CSI-type activities that make learning science and math fun, encouraging them to stay in school and further their education. Avetec collaborates with Clark State Community College’s GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) team to help better prepare Springfield area students for college.
