Sign Up for Two LUV Courses by May 15 to Receive a Polar 3D Printer for Your School
Designed to Develop 21st Century Skills, Level Up Village Courses Connect Students with Partners in the Developing World for One-on-One Collaboration and Cultural Exchange
Old Greenwich, Conn. – April 18, 2016 – Level Up Village (LUV), a provider of pioneering global STEAM (STEM + arts) enrichment, today announced it will give a Polar 3D printer to schools that enroll in two or more Level Up Village after-school courses* by May 15, 2016. Designed to develop 21st Century skills, Level Up Village courses engage students in one-to-one collaboration with partner students in the developing world via video message exchange.
“By partnering with Level Up Village, schools can add a 3D printer to their school Maker Space while taking a big step forward in making the 21st Century global classroom a reality,” said Amy McCooe, Co-Founder, Level Up Village. “We make it easy for schools to deliver impactful global programs to their students by providing complete curricula, teacher training and experienced management of the global collaboration process.”
The offer is valid for schools that sign up for two or more Level Up Village after-school courses and enroll at least ten students in each course.* Interested educators can request more information about Level Up Village or book a call with a team member at http://signup.levelupvillage.com.
Now in more than 100 U.S. schools, Level Up Village empowers students to make a difference through one-to-one collaboration on real-world problems together with Global Partner students in more than 20 countries. Level Up Village is a social impact company: U.S. school partners directly sponsor STEAM education in developing countries through LUV’s “Take a Class, Give a Class” model. A portion of the tuition is used to deliver the same class to students at one of LUV’s Global Partner organizations.
*Please note: To participate in this offer, schools can book any two Level Up Village after-school courses other than Global Inventors. (Schools that sign up for Global Inventors already receive a 3D printer as part of the Global Inventors package.)
