STEM Internship students participated in a remote telehealth experience in Honduras with Squads Abroad this past year,

The year is done! The seniors have completed their requirements and received their honor cords. The internship students have also finished their experiences and we are wrapping up the weirdest year in STEM Academy history. We wish the STEM Academy class of 2021 all the best!

Congratulations to the STEM Senior class of 2021! Our seniors presented their capstone projects in a ceremony last night. They did a great job, it was so wonderful to see all that they have accomplished in spite of the pandemic. The STEM faculty wish you all the best!!

The graduation ceremonies for the STEM Academy class of 2021 have begun! They all shared their work yesterday at a virtual ceremony for the 10th and 11th graders, this year's seniors are a very impressive group!!

Essex STEM Academy is starting a partnership with Tottori HS in Japan. We have each shared introductory videos and we are working on a spring phenology project.
