| Abstract: | Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many educational settings suddenly moved to a virtual setting. Administrators were faced with the challenge of supporting students and instructors amid continuously changing plans. In this study, four administrators shared their "lived experiences" (Seidman, 2019, p. 9) as they transitioned a summer STEAM program to a virtual setting. The summer STEAM program consisted of approximately 100 students from various schools in a large northeastern United States city and applied to be part of the program. Additionally, there were approximately 20 instructors and 10 administrators with varying degrees of educational experience. Through interviews, participant as observer observations (Billups, 2020), and document analysis, this research details the shift in existing and new support that administrators found to be valuable to instructors and students this summer.
