UMaine hosts students from Maine Connections Academy, WABI reports
WABI (Channel 5) reported students from Maine Connections Academy recently gathered at the University of Maine for an academic summit. The academy is usually internet-based, serving seventh through 12th grade students from around the state, according to the report. They met and held classes in a more traditional fashion at UMaine’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center. The event was focused around STEM education, but the students also were encouraged to strengthen connections they had made with their virtual classmates, WABI reported.
