LISA Academy is excited to host a Central Arkansas Enrichment Camp for 3rd–8th graders!

The 11th Annual Arkansas STEM Festival, held in April at the University of Arkansas, brought together over 1,000 student presenters and visitors from across the state in a powerful showcase of innovation and collaboration. This year’s theme, Connecting the Dots: Transportation, Technology, Environment, and Society, sparked imaginative STEM projects that reflected real-world impact and creative problem-solving.

Free, healthy meals are available to students 18 years of age or younger this summer.
