AMD Launches STEM Education Program to Curb Summer Slide
AMD’s Summer of STEM program empowers students through hands-on learning toprevent academic regression during summer
AMD’s Mission to Prevent the “Summer Slide"
AMD has rolled out its “Summer of STEM” initiative to address the growing concern of the “summer slide,” a phenomenon where students lose academic gains made during the school year over the summer break. Recognizing the importance of continuous learning, the tech giant has partnered with various educational institutions to provide engaging STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) learning experiences to students across communities. The goal is to sustain academic momentum and ignite a deeper interest in technology and innovation among young minds
Hands-On Learning and Real-World Skills
The program emphasizes project–based learning, offering students hands–on experiences that mimic real–world STEM applications. Students engage in activities like building
circuits, programming simple robotics, and conducting basic scientific experiments. These learning modules are designed not only to teach technical skills but also to enhance
problem–solving, collaboration, and critical thinking. By focusing on practical exposure rather than theoretical knowledge alone, AMD aims to build a strong foundation for future
innovators

Broader Impact and Community Engagement
Beyond the classroom, the initiative also involves mentorship from AMD employees and community leaders, enabling students to see the real–life applications of what they learn. It helps bridge the gap between underrepresented communities and advanced STEM opportunities. AMD’s continued commitment to education showcases its long–term
