Engineering, Marine Sciences Research Featured At Bangor Center
The Weekly newspaper had notices from the Challenger Learning Center in Bangor about programs with UMaine connections. The first, a Space Day open house, was held recently and featured students from UMaine’s College of Engineering who demonstrated wireless robotic sensors. The second took note of the “Connecting Climate to Curriculum” program, which involves scientists in improving earth and climate science curricula. The program, which will be held at 6 p.m. Friday, May 13, at the Challenger Learning Center, will feature a talk by UMaine School of Marine Science research professor Lee Karp-Boss, who recently led a leg of the Tara expedition. The program is a 3-year partnership with the center, UMaine’s School of Marine Science, Climate Change Institute, and Center for Research in STEM Education, and other community groups.
