The ºÚÁÏ´óÊÂ¼Ç STEAM Academy is a career-connected learning program for students in grades 8–12 who are passionate about science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Through immersive, hands-on experiences rooted in aerospace, innovation, and emerging technologies, students take learning beyond the traditional classroom and into real-world applications. Project-based learning, design challenges, engineering tasks, and collaborative problem-solving help students develop the critical thinking, creativity, communication, and technical skills they need for the future. Students also gain access to industry experts, specialized facilities, and unique experiences that connect their learning to college and career opportunities. By encouraging curiosity, creativity, and purpose, the ºÚÁÏ´óÊÂ¼Ç STEAM Academy empowers students to explore their interests, discover new possibilities, and build a foundation for success in college, careers, and beyond.

The STEAM Academy meets in person every Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., beginning September 2nd, and continuing throughout the school year, to provide a consistent, hands-on learning experience. The program is especially well suited for students enrolled in non-traditional or flexible learning environments who want to supplement their coursework with collaborative STEAM experiences that have them building, creating, experimenting, and solving real-world challenges.
