    High School Student Helps Inspire Next Generation of STEM Learners

    My name is Jasmine Yu and this summer I was a counselor at Saturday Academy’s Geek Chic camp, an all-girls computer programming camp hosted at St. Mary’s Academy high school. As a rising St. Mary’s senior, this experience provided me with a unique opportunity to combine my love for STEM with my background as a student at an all-girls high school.

    An Alumnus Returns to Animation Academy...as Instructor

    When longtime Animation Academy instructor Sharon Niemczyk was unable to teach for us this summer, she found someone to take her place. She didn't pick just anyone from her professional circle; she chose her former Animation Academy student Mac Kerman. The combination of her guidance and his passion for giving back to Saturday Academy by inspiring the next generation of animators made for an unforgettable week. Read on to hear it in Mac's own words. Be sure to view Exquisite Morph, the final group project referred to in Mac's post below (link at end of post).

    Introducing Saturday Academy's Equity Statement

    From: Jeri Janowsky, Ph.D., Executive Director

    Saturday Academy recently completed a year-long training on equity and inclusion.  Why?  Because inspiring curiosity in all children means understanding them; where they are coming from and their specific needs.   After all, the students we serve today are the future of our community.
