WABI reports on Maine EPSCoR High School Research Internship Program
WABI (Channel 5) covered the presentations of students in the Maine EPSCoR High School Research Internship Program at the University of Maine. This is the 10th year of the program that aims to engage students in college-level STEM subjects, according to the article. “Every year the projects are different,” said Barbara Cole, a chemistry professor at UMaine. “The faculty involved — some are repeaters and some are brand new every year — and the students are new, and they do college-level and beyond research and work, and it’s always amazing.” Elisabeth Willard, a senior at Hampden Academy, said the program provided her with “a lot of experience with an actual research project.”
