PPS’ Second STEM Expo Proves Even Bigger, Better than First

FINANCIAL DATA!

Portland Public Schools’ students were both teachers and learners at the Second Annual Portland Public Schools’ STEM Expo on Nov. 10. Students from elementary school through high school shared their learning in STEM – science, technology, engineering and math – alongside representatives from local businesses and post-secondary schools. And more than 1,500 other PPS students visited the more than 60 exhibits at the Expo to learn about the exciting world of STEM possibilities. Sadie Rhinehardt, a Deering High School senior at a DHS science booth at the Expo, was encouraging young visitors to try out some computer games she and other DHS computer science students had programmed. She said the Expo is an exciting chance to “show off what we can do.” Nolan Cyr, a DHS junior at the same booth, was demonstrating some circuit boards he described as “kid-friendly” and also exhibiting a drone. He said that after students tour the Expo, they are more likely to want to join a robotics club or get more STEM learning. “It gets them more motivated,” he said. The Expo was put on in partnership with EnviroLogix, a Portland-based company that develops and manufactures innovative detection technology for every link in the worldwide food production chain. EnviroLogix also sponsored last year’s first STEM Expo and considers the event an investment in the community and also in potential future employees. Another event partner was the University of Southern Maine; the Expo was held in USM’s Sullivan gymnasium.
