    STEAM University

    STEAM University is sponsored by the Talented and Gifted Committee at Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES.     Students from BOCES component school districts attend a two day program, which is held at Cayuga Community College. The students participate in a lecture-style class or a hands-on class for personal enrichment. Students are given an opportunity to interact with peers from other school districts. Steam University is open to students in grades 5-8.


    Three Lakes Sampler

    The Three Lakes Sampler is sponsored by the Talented and Gifted Committee at Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES. Selected art and written work is displayed at the Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center in Auburn, NY. The art center hosts an opening reception in January. The show is open to the public until the middle of March. After the show ends at the art center, the students’ work is arranged in a booklet entitled “The Three Lakes Sampler”. Selected art pieces are showcased at the art center and featured on the covers of the publication. Any student having work selected for this program receives a copy of the Three Lakes Sampler. The title of the show and publication is derived from the area’s three Finger Lakes that encompass the BOCES component school district; Cayuga, Skaneateles and Owasco lakes. Participation in the Three Lakes Sampler is open to all students within the BOCES component school districts. The students’ work is selected by the Art and English teachers at all district building levels.
