Nampa School District's STEM Academy is designed to offer students the opportunities and motivation to best use their given talents in science, technology, engineering and math. Students who flourish in this program will be passionate about one or more of these areas and desire to be challenged to reach new heights in their own learning. Through a foundation of project-based learning, cross-curricular projects, and cohort classes focused on solving real-world problems, students will be inspired and prepared for majors and careers in STEM-related fields.

STEM is open to all students in the Nampa School District who want to be involved in STEM-related projects. Seats are limited, but we do have openings at the beginning of each semester that open up.
