For the First Time in Years: Newcomb Academy STEAM Fair!

We are thrilled to announce that Newcomb Academy will be hosting a STEAM Fair for all TK-8 students, thanks to the incredible efforts of staff, parent volunteers from the Newcomb Academy PTSA and Newcomb Academy Foundation. This exciting event is an opportunity for students to explore, create, and showcase their artistic and scientific curiosity! The artistic portion of the event will feature artists who submitted projects in October for the district PTA Refelctions Art program along with student choice submissions for the Art Show.

The following deadlines and information is ONLY for the science portion of the event.

Key Dates to Remember:

📝 Registration Deadline: January 31

🧪 Project Work Period: February 3 – March 10

🎤 Project Presentations: March 10 – March 13 during school hours

🎉 Project Display: Spartan Spring STEAM Event, Friday, March 14

How It Works:

Students can choose from six project categories—Collection, Observation, Demonstration, Research, Experiment, or Engineering Design—based on their grade level. With your encouragement, they’ll develop a project to present to parent volunteers during school hours, with all projects proudly displayed at the Spartan Spring STEAM event.
