BAT BOOSTERS

ESA's 1st grade made the news!  The Wake Weekly ran an article detailing the unit our first grade team put together all about bats.  Students learned about all the ways that bats benefit the environment through project based learning and ended the unit by making bat houses.  

the world is waiting

"The World is Waiting" video was filmed, in part, at Envision Science Academy. The video was commissioned by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (U.S. Dept. of Energy) and co-produced by STEMedia (North Carolina) and Sea Legs Media (Oregon). In the video, Dr. Nehemiah Mabry delivers motivational poetry to promote STEM education and inspire the next generation of STEM leaders. Envision was selected as one of the filming sites based on its status as a STEAM school. Several of our students and facilities are featured in the film.
