| Abstract: | This article discusses how mathematics teachers seized the opportunity to keep the mathematics component of STEM camp on track by transforming the camp into a virtual camp themed "Out of this World." Teachers and camp interns encountered technical, social, and instructional challenges in transitioning to a digital platform while preserving the integrity of the prior learning experiences. Such challenges presented opportunities for collaborative and innovative resolutions as well as personal and professional growth. The lived experiences presented a need for a vector from instructional theory to practice and resulted in the development of an authentic professional learning community. The voices of these educators speak hope and promise for mathematics teachers answering the call to remote learning. |
