“Last year, Major League Baseball and EVERFI traveled to DREAM Charter School in Harlem to talk to students about using their academic ‘off-season’ to sharpen their skills. The school, which already incorporates baseball into its educational programs, was a natural fit for MLB’s new initiative, Summer Slugger — a baseball-themed digital math and literacy program that allows students to hit home runs with word problems and strike out batters through multiplication and division. Since then, Summer Slugger has helped nearly 38,000 students across North America, with 16 MLB clubs supporting the program in their markets.” (more)
