Thank you for taking the time to brainstorm. No robotics team - actually no teams of anything STEM. Not joking when I say kids get their STEM experiences out side of school. It’s not viewed as the school’s mandate, really.
It is very likely my kid will graduate without AP Chemistry or Physics because the school stopped offering them.
My kid is trying to social distance somewhat until December due to their competitive season in their sport. Assistant coaching has been done in the past but trying to stay healthy and not have sick days has made this really hard for the modern kid playing sports. (I also grew up in this sport and assisted coaches as a teen; the last 2.5 years have turned this model on it’s head and it’s been a real challenge to negotiate.)
Your suggestions may not work for my kid at this moment, but there are probably other students out there who can take your advice and run with it, which is great.
Might have to resort to potentially virtual options: virtual tutoring, virtual STEM something to engage their interest. This is problematic because there’s already too much virtual time spent on the computer, IMO.
