Monday, February 14th, 2022—The Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school students in Ms. Fogarty's 2^nd-grade class spread a little love, kindness, and adjectives to their classmates on Valentine's Day. Instead of passing out valentines day cards, students passed out compliment adjectives that best matched the personality of their classmates. Some of these adjectives include friendly, kind, hard worker, rockin' reader, and math whiz! Atoms walked around the room and placed their adjectives in their classmates' heart cutouts. These kind words and adjectives certainly put a smile on all the students' faces. We hope everyone had a happy Valentine's Day!

Saturday, February 12th, 2022—Early Saturday morning, the Syracuse Academy of Science high school Robotics Team attended the First Tech Challenge (FTC) Qualifying Tournament at Clarkson University. This tournament inspires students to learn like engineers. Participants must design, build and program their robots to solve challenging missions. 

The FTC mission this year required robots to detect the scoring element, collect the cubes and balls, and deliver them to the shipping hub, as well as bring the ducks into the field. To compete, the Atoms prepared a robot that can collect and lift and drop the debris to the desired level of the shipping hub!
