Wednesday, May 29th, 2024: Thank you to WCNY for hosting the Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School STEAM Club on their Innovate to Educate Radio Show! Atoms discussed their experience participating in MACNY’s Future Women in STEM program at the Museum of Science & Technology (MOST.)
During the radio show, the scholars passionately discussed the various activities and projects they engaged in as part of the program, including spending part of their Saturdays learning from and working with women in the STEM field. They highlighted how the Future Women in STEM initiative has significantly enriched their understanding of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The program provided hands-on learning experiences and connected them with inspiring female role models in STEM fields, further igniting their passion and ambition to pursue careers in these areas.
We are incredibly proud of our students' dedication and enthusiasm. Their participation in the Innovate to Educate Radio Show is a testament to their hard work and the supportive community the SAS fostered.
Stay tuned for more updates, and be sure to listen to the podcast to hear directly from our talented students about their inspiring experiences. This is just the beginning of their journey in STEM, and we can't wait to see what they achieve next!
Tuesday, May 21st, 2024: Congratulations to Syracuse Academy of Science senior Migual Mathis! Migual earned a table to present his research, "Computational Analysis of Apigenin as a Protein-Based Therapeutic Targeting MUCIN-1," at the 2024 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in Los Angeles, California.
Migual was selected from the MOST's CNY Science & Engineering Fair to share his research at the May 11 - May 17 event, the world's largest high school STEM competition. The event included university judges, engineers and scientists, private and federal research center representatives, and post-doctoral fellows. In addition, Migual had the opportunity to present his research to the public and other honorees at the science fair.
ISEF hosted events for participants throughout the week, including a college fair, pin exchange, and opening and closing ceremonies. A highlight of the trip was that Migual was selected to livestream a question to aerospace engineer and NASA astronaut Dr. Janette Epps while she was at the International Space Station.
Friday, May 17th, 2024: Senator Rachel May visited Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School to present certificates to two 4th-grade students! These talented scholars had their artwork selected for the NYSATA Legislative Exhibit, which showcases student art in the Legislative Office Building in Albany. To celebrate this achievement, Senator May was invited to present a certificate to each student. During her visit, Senator May also spoke with the 4th graders about the role and responsibilities of a Senator.
We are incredibly proud of our students and grateful for Senator May's visit!
Saturday, May 11th, 2024: The Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School Steam Club attended their last Future Women in STEM event at the MOST. This week, scholars went through the design process with women from TESSY Plastics. Their task was to design something to keep them dry when going to school in the rain. Local media group WCNY joined us, talking to the girls about STEM and the different speakers they have listened to at The Future Women in STEM events.
Saturday, May 4th, 2024: Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School's Atoms Adventure Club recently went to Pratt's Falls! During this visit, the group hiked along a creek that led to the waterfall. While hiking, Atoms identified salamanders, bugs, fish, and a massive bullfrog!
It was an authentic outdoor experience. Stay tuned for the next adventure!
Thursday, May 9th, 2024: Regent Patrick Mannion of the NY State Board of Regents visited with Syracuse Academy of Science 3rd graders!
Regent Mannion explained what the Board of Regents does and engaged with our scholars about their dreams and aspirations. He also read a story about presidents and a girl who dreams of being the first female president of the United States!
Thank you to Regent Mannion for visiting us, and we hope to have another visit soon!
Thursday, May 2nd, 2024: Students earning the top dojo points in each Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School class were rewarded with a delicious fancy lunch as a reward. Students are rewarded with dojos each month for being on time, prepared, participating in class, and being good friends/citizens. At the end of the month, the dojos are totaled, and the students with the most are rewarded with different activities. Everyone gets a clean slate at the start of the following month.
Keep up the great work, Atoms!
Friday, March 22nd, 2024: We are thrilled to announce that our dedicated team of students clinched first place at the Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School MathCounts Competition!
These young mathematicians showcased exceptional problem-solving skills, resilience, and teamwork. MathCounts Competition is not just about crunching numbers; it's about critical thinking, strategy, and mastering mathematical concepts.
A big shoutout to our amazing students for their outstanding performance and for representing our school with honor and excellence.
