STEM Night Learning
Horace W. Porter hosted the second annual STEM Night. STEM Night aims to promote access to innovative learning experiences and STEM-based concepts through community partnerships. This year's theme was environmental sustainability and clean energy. Dr. Patricia Szczys from Eastern Connecticut State University kicked off the event with a presentation on sustainability related to local agricultural practices and new technological advancements to support food production. There were almost 30 stations and several community organizations, including The Friends of Mono Pond, the Columbia Historical Society, Joshua's Trust, and Salmon in Schools.
