Saturday Academy is a non-profit cooperative hosted by the College of Engineering and College of Science at Oregon State University, and working with local businesses and professionals. Fees are charged for classes, but tuition assistance is available. Students from Albany and Mill City schools pay half the regular fees due to school district support and grant funds.

The Engineering Design Challenge: Lunar Plant Growth Chamber project continues as participants are still receiving seeds. After your students complete the project, be sure to visit the challenge Web site and provide information about your seed growth. Certificates of Participation will be available for each student after the challenge feedback form is completed.

Registration is still open to participate in the challenge. For additional information and to sign up to receive space-flown basil seeds, please visit: http://www.nasa.gov/education/plantchallenge
