    A Bridge Between Classes & Internships: STEAM Career Tracks

    From August to December, Saturday Academy piloted STEAM Career Tracks, a new program to bridge our classes  and  internship (ASE) program. The pilot was a success! The core goal of the program was to connect high school students  to professional development resources and career exploration workshops. STEAM Career Tracks provided workshops in architecture, computer science and programming, environmental science, engineering, medicine and biochemistry and bioengineering to twenty-six high school-age participants.

    Letter from Our Executive Director - July 2021

    Summer is officially here – I hope you’ve been enjoying sunny days outside, perfectly melty ice cream, and getting together with friends and family!  (Speaking of ice cream, here is a little ice cream science experiment to try at home! See below for the experiment) It is so exciting to be learning with you in person, as our summer classes and camps are now in full swing.
