Essex STEM Academy in the community
Many of our STEM programs rely on the expertise of professionals in our community. We have recently sent out a request for assistance, it would be helpful if you could share it to a wider distribution by posting this pdf on social media.
WCAX was here on Monday to do a story about STEM programs at Essex High School, it would help raise awareness if you could share their video as well.
Essex High School is a State Winner in Samsung Contest
Selected from thousands of entries nationwide, Essex High School has been named a Vermont State Winner in the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Contest for its proposed plan to combat climate change by improving waste disposal practices at EHS. Our goal is to use STEM to help make recycling at our school more productive and efficient. Essex High School is among the nation’s 100 State Winners (at least one school from all 50 states) and will receive $15,000 in technology for its achievement. The project is a collaboration between the Environmental Club, STEM Academy and Mobile App Development Course under the supervision of Erin Bessy, Lea Ann Smith and Kelly Hill.
