STEM Entrepreneurship Academy

In July, students from Alabama high schools participated in the STEM Entrepreneurship Academy. Students lived on campus for a week, explored the STEM fields, and develop ways to support needs in their school communities through entrepreneurship.

Held on UA's campus from July 5-29, BLAST Academy encouraged summer learning in a creative environment for children ages 5-12, with a focus on arts education, physical education, STEM and social emotional learning.
