Syracuse Academy of Science Charter School students participated in the 2nd Annual Science Day on Saturday, April 13, 2013 at SUNY Oswego. The annual event was hosted and organized by the SUNY Oswego undergraduate students to increase the interaction between grade 7-12 students and undergraduate students. In addition to competing, our students enjoyed a variety of hands-on activities that were designed to heighten their interest in science, engineering, technology and math (STEM) fields.

The Science Day began with informative presentations in the morning addressing topics ranging from the extinction of dinosaurs, to thunder storms, the engineering principals of roller coasters, arsenic detection and robotic arm function. The presentations were followed by engaging demonstrations with chemistry, biology, frozen foods, video games, and fun mathematic problems. After these hands-on activities, students competed in Jeopardy. Our SASCS team, comprised of Yahkeef Davis, Magdi Hill, Caitlyn Bradshaw, and Jailyne Solis, won 1st place at this year’s SUNY Oswego 2nd Annual Science Day.  

We sincerely thank the SUNY Oswego students who organized this inspiring science event.
