TJ Academy 

Rm. Library

 Once a month (4th Wednesday) from 2:30 to 4:00 pm from January to April, and the first program will be taking place after school Wednesday, January 26th.

Purpose of Program: I want to help prepare Glasgow students to consider TJ and other STEM interests. Each session I plan to bring a group from TJ of specialized students from different clubs to present different subjects. For example, some of the topics I am considering covering include space, physics, computer science, advanced mathematics, prototyping, and many others.

Desired Outcome: My hope for this program is that more students from Glasgow will be interested in pursuing STEM and as an overall bonus -- TJ H.S.
