From late-night study sessions to unforgettable moments with friends, they have made memories that will last a lifetime. Together, they’ve achieved so much and grown into the amazing young adults they are today. This is just the beginning! Before they embark on this new chapter in their stories, let’s take a moment to celebrate their journey and look forward to the bright futures ahead.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the SASCS Class of 2024!

Thursday, May 30th, 2024: Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School students enjoyed a night of games, crafts, and pizza. It was a great way to let loose after a month of testing!

Great job, Atoms, for your hard work and perseverance throughout the testing period. We are so proud of you!

Saturday, June 1st, 2024: Our talented Syracuse Academy of Science High School Robotics teams participated in the Museum of Science & Technology's (MOST) Rocket Challenge!

It was an incredible experience where our students showcased their engineering skills and creativity in constructing a model rocket. We are proud of their hard work, dedication, and team spirit. Thank you to the MOST for hosting such an inspiring event and providing our students with this fantastic opportunity.

Saturday, June 1st, 2024: The Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School STEAM club soared through the MOST's Rocket Challenge! SANY Experiment 626 and Team Total Eclipse navigated the inspection phase and carefully packed cotton balls around their egg astronauts. SANY Experiment 626's rocket reached an impressive apogee of 195 feet, with their egg surviving the journey! They secured 20th place overall. Although Team Total Eclipse faced a challenge when their parachute didn't deploy, resulting in no recorded data, both teams had an incredible time and are already excited to return next year. 

Great job, STEAM club!

Wednesday, May 15th, 2024: Several Syracuse Academy of Science High School Atoms and teachers recently took a break from their busy schedules to enjoy one of America's favorite pastimes - baseball! They attended the Mets Education Day and had a blast despite the rain cutting the last two innings short. It was a home run of a day filled with learning, laughter, and team spirit!

Tuesday, May 21st, 2024: Congratulations to the Syracuse Academy of Science High School track and field team on their success at the Section 3 Championships at Utica College!

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.
