Kittery students’ involvement in Stormwater Research Institute featured in Seacoastonline
Seacoastonline reported seven students from Traip Academy in Kittery attended the weeklong Stormwater Research Institute at the University of Maine over the summer. The students learned about the importance of stormwater drainage and how it can affect other bodies of water, according to the article. “I live close to the water, and it’s interesting to find out what is in it,” said Sommer Huntress, a sophomore at Traip. “It was a lot more hands on and we did research from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. It was definitely a change from a normal science class. It was fun.” Participating students will spend the school year collecting stormwater data in Kittery that they will send to UMaine for analysis, the article states.
