From Maine to Mars: Inspiring the Next Generation of Scientists in Rural America Blog

Challenger Learning Center of Maine kicked off February by bringing hands-on STEM activities to students at Whiting Village School in Whiting, Maine–a rural town in the northeast portion of the state with a population of just 481 residents. Their hope for the Maine to Mars STEM Night was to spark students’ interest in science, and hopefully a STEM career, by showing them what’s possible for their futures.
