Each spring, students from grades 3-8 have participated in the school science fair. This year, as an academy, we are going to hold a STEM fair in lieu of the science fair.

During the next few weeks, students in each class will be put into groups and given the opportunity to design a STEM project that uses the scientific method to solve a problem.
