Governor Asa Hutchinson Tries Jig-Jag

LISA Academy Solar Car Team publicly introduced Jig-Jag, their newly engineered solar car, to the state today. Governor Asa Hutchinson attended the ceremony to take part in an honorary test drive in the car; and help cut the ribbon that signifies the future of STEM at LISA Academy and the state of Arkansas. This project has taken over a year to complete, and has been entered into the Solar Car Challenge where they will drive it from Texas to California in July.




4th Annual AR STEM Festival

Our Fourth Annual AR STEM Festival was nothing but spectacular as we dove deep into the theme of agriculture. Agriculture is one of the leading industries in Arkansas, so why not learn and plan how we can help our state grow and improve? We had more than 30 schools represented as observers in the festival, bringing our total participants to more than 2,000. There were over 100 projects on display, hands-on activities, a petting zoo, and a tractor for visitors to experience up close.

We want to thank all the teachers who supported their students through their research, and we want to thank all the students for their work. Without you, none of this would be possible. Without you, STEM would have no future. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for embracing the future!
