Saturday Academy

Saturday Academy is a fun, hands-on science program occurring once a month, typically from October through May. The program follows a project-based model, increasing familiarity with STEM equipment and industry professionals. Each session has three main objectives:

1) motivate students to pursue higher education,

2) increase students’ participation in the STEM fields,

3) prepare students for professional life after high school.
