STEM Academy

Our STEM Academy (formerly Algebra Academy) is a summer program beginning after 8th grade to support college-bound students in math, science, and art, and in college selection. Students visit universities all over California and get extra support in applying for college and scholarships, and are expected to participate for all four summers of their high school years. In 2016, students participated in activities including a 30-foot Egg-Drop challenge and designing and building a mousetrap car.
