The Walton STEM Academy is excited to announce the addition of a Computer Science pathway! Beginning with our next STEM cohort, students will have the opportunity to explore computing through a rigorous four-year sequence that builds skills in computational thinking, programming, problem-solving, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies.
The new pathway is designed for students who are curious about technology and enjoy figuring out how things work and finding creative solutions to challenging problems. No prior programming experience is required—just curiosity, persistence, and a willingness to learn.
With the addition of Computer Science, students can now choose from four STEM pathways: Advanced Mathematics/Science, Biomedical Sciences, Engineering, and Computer Science. We are excited to welcome our first Computer Science cohort and watch this new pathway grow!
STEM Academy Student Highlights
STEM Engineering RoboLympics
The Sophomore Engineering Class of 2028 has been busy competing in RoboLympics this October.
In a series of events, the teams designed robots that met specific requirements using different input and output sensors and their VEX kit of parts. The events culminated in Bot-Bot Golf, where their robots played a 5 hole course throughout Walton.
Congrats to Mason, Ryan G, Tad, and Samuel whose robot had a low score of 33!
