    Wiscasset Middle High School will celebrate technology education at its Family STEM Night and Community Supper, Thursday, March 8 from 5 to 6:30 p.m.  Community members are invited to visit this exhibition of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) learning, where people of all ages can participate in “Hour of Code” and engineering challenges.

    Hour of Code is a nationwide movement that promotes computer science education in classrooms. WMHS teacher Prema Long is a certified Hour of Code instructor and her students will demonstrate binary coding and more at this evening’s gallery of STEM classroom projects. Other projects include strawberry DNA extraction, Middle School Robotics, and much more. There will be a special guest appearance from the community-supported Wiscasset Area Robotics Program club which will be showcasing its competition bots as the club gears up for the Southern Maine Robotics Track Meet in April.  Plus, the school’s food pantry will be hosting a free spaghetti supper for all to enjoy.
