We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to using sports to advance STEAM disciplines for underrepresented K-12 students in Cobb County, GA. Next Play STEAM Basketball is a program of Next Play 360° that features after school and summer camps to engage students in athletics, leadership, and academics by integrating STEAM fundamentals (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics). In doing so, our program helps student athletes understand the science behind the sport so that they become as competitive in the classroom as on the court. Key elements of the program include weekly after school STEAM educational clinics along with out-of-school-time camps that is equal parts education, physical activity, and fun.
A hallmark of our program is the use of hands-on learning strategies that are engaging, personal, and enjoyable for students of all grade levels, which motivates them to fully immerse themselves in the STEAM fundamentals behind the game of basketball. To learn more visit nextplay360.org.
