Throughout the year, we welcome public school students from RSU1 to learn local history and what makes the place they call home special. Students from Ms. Oswald's class at D**e Newell Elementary had a recent visit all about lobsters—clearly, with spirit! They learned about lobster adaptation, conservation, and the many Maine livelihoods that depend on the lobster industry 🦞

Two firsts this year—not only do we get to work with students from the Bath Middle School Alternative Pathways Program, it's the first time class is held in the Watercraft Restoration Center 🪵🪚

Our Discovery Boatbuilding program emphasizes and develops each student’s personal growth, teamwork, leadership, responsibility and problem solving. Safe work practices and shop skills are developed early on to ensure student safety. It's not just academic, it's also social, and amazing to have a program for our local middle school students.

After seven fun-filled STEAMbox Family Workshops, we are taking a break for the summer season! Some highlights from our monthly hands-on workshops include testing blubber gloves to understand seal blubber, investigating buoyancy with handmade boats, designing our own constellations, creating bark rubbings from different Maine trees, getting a glimpse inside real oysters, comparing our own wingspan to those of the osprey and bald eagle, and investigating native plants on campus before making our own recycled planters.

We can't wait to see everyone again in the fall for educator-led STEM + the Arts investigations of even more maritime topics! STEAMbox programs are generously funded by First Federal Savings, allowing us to offer this program free to the public.
