The Innovation Academy is a STEM based program at Martin Middle School and Eastside Early College High School. The goal is to better prepare students for life after high school by providing them with various hands-on opportunities in STEM, (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), while also exposing them to colleges, careers, and field trip experiences. The program's overall coursework is more rigorous and provides enriching lessons inside and outside of the classroom
