Phoenix STEM Military Academy, in partnership with the United States Military Academy at West Point, is pleased to announce that they will be hosting a CLDSTEM Workshop on Friday, 16 January 2026, from 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM at PSMA.
This collaborative event brings together professionals, researchers and cadets to engage students in dynamic, real-world engineering and scientific exploration. Participants will work directly with Army engineers and West Point cadets as they investigate modern challenges, apply critical thinking and experience the power of STEM through interactive activities designed to inspire the next generation of leaders. PSMA Principal Jones would like to extend this opportunity to all military academies and traditional programs. A total of 105 seats are available:
The target audience is GL-9 and GL-10 students that may have an interest in attending a Service Academy and/or students that have an interest in STEM. As you know, our educational landscape continues to move toward a STEM focused future. This is a high profile event. Please take this into consideration when developing your participant rosters. The uniform for the event will be the Class A. Schools intending to have cadets participate in the event should:
- Email SFC Michael Walker (mewalker2@cps.edu) copying both Principal Ms. Marquita Jones (mojones@cps.edu) and AP Mrs. Tobias (stobias@cps.edu).
- Complete/Submit with each participating cadet the West Point registration page. The deadline for registration is Friday 9 January 2026.
- Email completed CPS media consents to AP Mrs. Tobias at (stobias@cps.edu).
- Bring/turn in original copies of the CPS media consent on the day of the event to AP Mrs. Tobias.
Each program is responsible for arranging their own transportation, for coordinating chaperones and for entering the transportation requests in Oracle for approval. Cadets will be able to eat lunch in the PSMA cafeteria and are also able to bring their own sack lunch if so desired. Media Consent forms are attached. An informational flyer is also attached. It is my understanding that cadets should not have random access to the QR code that is embedded on the flyer.
Please reach out to the aforementioned hosts with questions or concerns.
