The Maleska campus has a thriving after school football program with kids from Bronx Math and Archimedes!  First off, congrats to The Vikings and The Cowboys for their 2-0 streaks.  I'm interviewing last years 'Sportsmanship Award' winner Corey Peirce for more information about the after school football program.

LAST OPEN HOUSE

MS and HS Applications are due at the end of this week

Archimedes Academy has started a Youth and Government program to show students how the economy and political systems work. This program shows what is going on with the present economy and how it changes. These students will debate on things they feel are not right for the world.  Youth and Government will help the kids extend their vocabulary more and learn how the people of the world react to situations.

Biohazard Games company has recently gotten started at Archimedes.  We have an exclusive interview with some of the 8^th grade team members, click Read more to see the full story.

 Attention 8^th grade students!

As part of our ongoing efforts to prepare students for matriculation to high school, we have created a high school resources survey form.  This form will help us collect information about good high schools in New York City and determine how ready you are to matriculate.  If you know of any good websites or other resources for finding the best schools around, please suggest them using this form.  We will take all the suggestions and compile a master list for everyone to use.  Click 'Read more' to see the form.

Our sixth grade students have been hard at work in art class.  Some of their most recent projects include 'Everyday Products' and Monoprints.  In the Everyday Products project, students took existing products and satirized them with their own personal concepts.  In Monoprints, students got to explore the technique of monoprinting, a relief created by laying down one sheet of ink and creating a negative of the final image, then printing it onto another sheet of paper.  Click 'Read more' to see full versions of the pictures or check out the Archimedes Art Image gallery for the full set!

The Cousteau 7th grade boys are leaving for their camping trip.  They will get a chance to try rock climbing, archery, and more at while staying in cabins and getting an authentic campfire dinner.  Mr. Baker has promised more pictures which will be uploaded to the Image Galleries as soon as they return.

Kudos to Ms. Stephanie and Mr. Lopez for bravely volunteering to accompany this expedition!

 In an effort to beautify our neighborhood, Archimedes art teacher Mr. Christian has started working on a mural across the street from the school along with several of his artist friends.  This exciting work has just gotten started, but it's already making the store facade look a whole lot better.  

Check the Archimedes Art image gallery for complete pictures from this project and more exciting artwork from Archimedes students and teachers.  You can also see more pictures by clicking 'Read more' below.

The Boogie Down Bots, Archimedes robotics team, just got back from a trip to Washington DC.  Check the image galleries soon for pictures from the trip and a complete write up will appear at this page as well.  We met some exciting people on our trip, completed a lot of great research, and got a chance to visit some fantastic museums.
