For 43 years, Saturday Academy has been partnering with schools to provide innovative and fun hands-on learning through STEAM!

Our Biomedical Engineering Link.ed Program ensures grades 4-8 have access to a ten session progression designed to deepen identity, seed belonging, and invite students into a subject they would not have access to otherwise. The intersections of biology, medical, and engineering combine for an exciting exploration that balances group projects, individual reflection, and dynamic resources to make solving real world problems and taking care of patients real for students.

We provide the educators, curriculum, supplies, and technology needed for an educational experience students will remember for a lifetime — making it easy to link STEAM to your school through Saturday Academy.
