49ERS BRINGING AWARD-WINNING STEAM EDUCATION PROGRAM TO FIJI

U.S. State Department enlists 49ers EDU director Jesse Lovejoy as a Sports Envoy
to develop and deliver innovative STEAM education lessons with Fijian teachers
and youth

SANTA CLARA, Calif., –The Sports Diplomacy Division of the United States
Department of State has called on the San Francisco 49ers Foundation’s 49ers EDU
program and its  director Jesse Lovejoy to join its delegation to Fiji to
deliver on the organization’s mission to build ever-strengthening relations
between the United States and other nations through sport.

Earlier this year, Fiji’s Minister for Education, Heritage and Arts, Rosy Akbar
publicly recognized the need to promote STEAM education in primary school
education due to a shortage of skills in specific work areas across the island.
Leveraging the institutional knowledge of and programming components from 49ers
EDU, Lovejoy has been tasked with bringing STEAM based lesson plans to Fiji in
order to provide both teachers and youth a better understanding of STEAM topics
through sports such as American football, rugby and volleyball. Joining Lovejoy
as a U.S. State Department Sports Envoy on the trip to Fiji will be American
indoor volleyball player and Olympic gold medalist Danielle Scott-Arruda.

“It is an incredible honor and extremely humbling that the United States
government would include 49ers EDU in its mission to leverage sports to make a
positive impact on people abroad,” said Lovejoy. “Our STEAM-focused learning
approaches were designed to fluidly adapt to different audiences, regions and
sports, so we’re eager to connect with Fijian children and teachers in a way
that’s relevant, compelling and exciting for them. Opportunities like this would
not be possible without the support of Dr. John York and the York family and
their constant encouragement to make education accessible for all throughout the
Bay Area and beyond.”

Lovejoy will be working with the U.S. Embassy in Fiji, as well as local primary,
secondary and collegiate teachers to explore new approaches to including
project-based learning and the engineering design process to their lesson plans
using sports as the vehicle. Through creativity and a cross-disciplinary
approach, Lovejoy aims to show teachers how STEAM can be integrated into
virtually any lesson plan. Once developed with the Fijian educators, Lovejoy
will travel to multiple local schools delivering these lesson plans to beta test
them, refine them and support the teachers in their continued development and
adoption.

“We believe that STEAM education and sports can go hand-in-hand as the lessons
learned on the field or on the court translate to life success in the classroom,
the work place and beyond,” said Matt McMahon of the State Department’s Sports
Diplomacy division. “49ers EDU is out front in using sport to promote STEAM
literacy and we are excited to partner with Jesse and the 49ers on this
program.”

Lovejoy and the 49ers EDU team previously partnered with the Department of State
last spring to deliver STEAM-based programming to teachers and students at
Chobham Academy in London. That partnership came to life while 49ers EDU was in
the United Kingdom to execute a collaboration with Chelsea FC. 49ers EDU is
actively seeking out like-minded organizations around that globe to collaborate
with in order to spread STEAM education worldwide and interested entities are
invited to contact Lovejoy at jesse.lovejoy@49ers.com to learn more.

About 49ers EDU

The San Francisco 49ers and the 49ers Foundation leads professional sports in
the support of STEM learning concepts for youth through 49ers EDU. 49ers
EDU began its field trip program in 2014, in conjunction with the opening of
Levi’s Stadium, to provide learning platforms for K-8 students through
content-rich lessons using the STEAM principles of science, technology,
engineering, art, and mathematics. To date, the program has reached more than
250,000 Bay Area students and educators – 60,000 annually – with 60% of students
coming from Title I Designated schools. The 49ers Foundation has also invested
in the 49ers STEM Leadership Institute’s Chevron STEMZONE at Cabrillo Middle
School in Santa Clara, Calif., where a six-year curriculum that begins in
seventh grade and continues through high school works to prepare students with
high academic potential for careers in STEM. The STEM Leadership Institute,
launched in 2014 in partnership between the 49ers Foundation, Chevron, ALearn
Silicon Valley Education Foundation, and the Santa Clara Unified School
District, currently hosts five cohorts of scholars totaling 300 students
enrolled in the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th grade program, which expanded to
Santa Clara High School in fall 2016.
