Community Central Summer of Science
This summer, teen leaders from Lewiston and Portland taught youth across the two cities using the Summer of Science curriculum developed by UMaine Extension and Maine EPSCoR.
The summer began with youth enjoying time at Bryant Pond 4-H Camp for a two-day training. Time at Bryant Pond included learning the activities, team building exercises with camp staff, and using the resources on the Staff Development Guides page (Click 2 Science website) to review facilitation skills.
Youth across Portland and Lewiston participated in 6 activities weeks of activities that focused on the Engineering Process.
