SMT FAMILIES
SMT Families- Reminder you received an email 4/14 outlining how we are doing Showcase remote this year. A number of students have asked for clarification: SMT students must turn in one project from any one SMT class (that includes research groups). SMT teachers can provide you a template or you can create a poster using the slides you made for your project. The digital poster is due May 14th.
SMT Blast: save the date for a SMT Blast the afternoon of June 5. This will be an outdoor event following all safety policies. We will be sending a detailed invitation later this month. Parent and student volunteers will be needed.
