Do you want to do an experiment or research a STEAM topic and share the results with your classmates? Sign up to display a project at the Louise Archer STEAM extravaganza. 

What is the STEAM extravaganza? 

This event is a PTA sponsored extracurricular activity to celebrate STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math). The event is similar to a traditional science fair but projects aren’t limited to experiments and can be about any STEAM topic. 

No project? No problem, all are welcome! Even if you don’t create a project, you are still welcome to attend to check out the displays and do other activities including:

• Madison Robotics Club Demonstration 
• Mathnasium Prize Wheel
• Other hands on STEAM activities 

Sign up to display a project.

More information: 

• Project guidelines 
• Project ideas for K-3
• Project ideas for grades 4-6

We are excited to announce that we are again partnering with Original Works art-based fundraising! Through the program, students created artwork that you can have reproduced onto a variety of keepsake products. The products range from magnets to mugs and start at under $8.  A portion of proceeds from the program will be used for PTA programs.

Complete details on the program including a custom order form with your child’s unique Access Code will be sent home this week.  To search for your child’s artwork and order online, please input your child’s “Access Code” or select “Search Artwork” on the website at https://store.originalworks.com/gallery/. 

Online orders are due by March 26th, 2026 if you wish to receive the keepsakes in time for Mother’s Day. Please email Cathy at minigrants@louisearcherpta.org if you have any questions. Thank you for supporting this unique and creative program!
