WISCASSET — Wiscasset Middle High School will be celebrating technology education at its free Family STEM Night and community supper, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 8, at the school, 272 Gardiner Road
Community members are invited to visit this exhibition of Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) learning where people of all ages can participate in Hour of Code and engineering challenges.
Hour of Code is a nationwide movement that promotes computer science education in classrooms. According to a 2016 Gallup research poll, just 40 percent of American high schools have reported teaching computer coding. Wiscasset’s Prema Long is a certified Hour of Code instructor, and her students will demonstrate binary coding and more at this evening’s gallery of STEM classroom projects.
Other projects include strawberry DNA extraction, middle school robotics, and much more. There will be a special guest appearance from the community-supported Wiscasset Area Robotics Program club showcasing their competition bots as the gear up for the Southern Maine Robotics Track Meet in April.
Wiscasset Middle High School’s food pantry will be hosting a free spaghetti supper for all to enjoy. For more information, contact the school at 207-882-7722.
