Freshman Project
Freshmen begin their STEM Academy education by exploring the Academy theme of energy. Students are placed into groups, assigned a STEM Teacher as their mentor, and assigned a country to focus on. Their goal is then to propose then improve a plan for an updated Energy Portfolio of their assigned country to help the country reach Goal 7 in the Sustainable Development Global Goals.

Sophomore Project
Sophomore Project
As the emerging generation of decision makers, innovators, and entrepreneurs, it is your time to develop solutions. For your sophomore class project, student groups will choose from two potential waste categories to research the current state of disposal and recycling. Using data to justify your choice, groups will need to develop a new product or business with the goal of reusing or reducing single uses of the product. Groups will need to complete a Brand Guide, Key Business Proposition, Environmental Cost Benefit Analysis for your product.
Details of the entire project can be found in the linked document to the left. Groups for the current semester can be found at the top of this webpage.

Junior Project
As Juniors in the STEM Academy, it is time to take your STEM project a little closer to home. As Athens Drive is slated to have major building renovations, your task this year is to demonstrate your understanding of Sustainable Architecture through a prototype of sustainable high school building. Your proposal for making YOUR school building more Sustainable will have physical and written components.

Senior Project
Senior Project
All seniors in the STEM Academy take the STEM Capstone course, a project design course modeled after the final design classes that Engineering Colleges use, in the spring of their senior year. Typically they address one of the NAE Grand Challenges for Engineering - 14 goals aimed at "improving life on the planet" per the National Academy of Engineers.
All Senior projects are completed in the Spring Semester of a student's senior year while enrolled in the STEM Capstone class. More details will be provided to students regarding their project options at that time.
