Stem Festival

LISA Academy has a strong tradition of offering students enriching opportunities to participate in Science Fair projects. This year we are moving forward with a STEM Festival for grades 8-11. We are excited about the options our students may choose in order to participate. Each high school student will be responsible for completing mandatory STEM PROJECTS over the entire year. The students, however, will have the option to choose a variety of different types of STEM activities/projects.

Upon their conclusion, these projects will be presented at school through an OPEN HOUSE format titled a “SCIENCE FESTIVAL”. The audience at this festival will be parents, school staff members, alumni members and prospective rising 8th graders and their parents who are interested in attending LISA Academy.
