The nonprofit group STEM Santa Fe expanded access to the free camp after COVID-19 forced in-person child care groups to scale back. New Mexico education officials are budgeting up to $10 million in pandemic relief money to create internships for high schools students, while nonprofits and school districts are bringing back summer enrichment opportunities to meet rising demand.
