Students are enjoying hands-on learning at the Summer Academy for Academic Achievement, particularly in the "STEAM" subjects: science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics.
Each grade level has its own unique "thematic engineering" lessons, such as solar energy, pollination, and vertical farms. The students begin with the basics and ultimately conduct experiments and create models.
Rivera Middle School is hosting students heading into seventh and eighth grades, while Peterson and Reyes Elementary Schools are serving students going into third through sixth grades. Reyes also has a Fast Track program for young English learners heading into kindergarten, first, and second grades.
