Free Summer Opportunity for Milford and Northbridge High School Students

BVEF is excited to share the Math Momentum Studio Summer Camp Program, a free hands-on tutoring and enrichment program designed to help students strengthen math skills, build confidence, and connect learning to real-world career pathways.

Students will receive targeted math support and apply their learning through capstone projects connected to authentic challenges. The program will also feature guest speakers from math-based careers, including engineering, biotech, finance, and more, helping students see how math is used in the workforce.

BVEF was proud to be part of WPI’s STEM Education Showcase, sharing how our ExGen program and Career-Connected Teacher Program are bridging the gap between classroom learning and the world of work. Both programs help K–12 educators connect with real industries and bring that experience back to their students in meaningful ways.

A huge thank you to and the Central MA STEM Network for their continued partnership and for creating spaces where these important conversations can happen. It truly takes a community to prepare students for the future!

We extend our congratulations to Kane Gagne!
Kane was selected as the NMS representative to the Blackstone Valley Youth Leadership Academy. Last Thursday evening, Kane participated in the STEAM Unfiltered Conference hosted at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester. STEAM Unfiltered is a student-led initiative of the Blackstone Valley Education Foundation in partnership with Worcester Polytechnic Institute. The event brings middle school students face-to-face with professionals working in real-world STEAM careers—science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Designed to amplify student voice, the conference empowers students not only to explore STEAM pathways but also to lead meaningful conversations with experts in the field.
🎉 Congratulations, Kane, on this outstanding opportunity and for representing NMS so well!

That’s a middle schooler after attending STEAM Unfiltered, a student-organized event built to inspire the next generation of innovators.

93% of attendees left interested in STEAM. 92% plan to get more involved. And we are 100% proud of what our BVYLA students built!

Thank you to WPI, the Central Mass STEM Network, and every speaker and presenter who showed up for our students.
