Live animal display. STEAM Program for Manchester/Essex Middle and High School kids and the school community. STEAM activities combine the traditional principles of science, technology, engineering, and math with a creative twist by adding the arts. Exhibits will include: Math Challenge Table: Community vs. Math Students Competition; displays of student artwork; Monarch Butterflies; Space Soil – “Plant the Moon;” student-engineered cars; Tank Aquascape Contest; bacterial art; and DNA extraction. The school Green Team will be showcasing model sea creatures they have created out of soft plastics. Students are taking part in the Trex Challenge to reduce the school’s waste, and recycle plastics to highlight their impact on the world. Also, parent Dan Ochs will demonstrate a robotic arm he created, in the gymnasium. Many local businesses in STEAM fields are supporting the Showcase, and will be presenting as well. They include Applied Materials, Black Earth, Cell Signaling, EBSCO Publishing, Medtronics, New England Biolabs, and the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, to name a few. “The Showcase will be a great example of how our students use their curiosity to create and to explore the world around them,” Superintendent Beaudoin said. “By seeing how each of these fields interconnect, they will develop the skills to solve real-world problems and find success throughout life. I hope everyone in our community will be able to attend.”

Vernal Pond Field Trip at Ravenswood Park, Gloucester. Ipswich River Watershed Association (IRWA) works closely with Pathways for Children in Gloucester. Rick and Emma Hughen of IRWA are going to co-lead this field trip exploring vernal ponds at Ravenswood on April 17th and 18th. April 17 - Grades 3-5 April 18 - Grades K-2 Ravenswood Park is a nature reserve in the western section of Gloucester, Massachusetts owned and managed by the Trustees of Reservations, which acquired the property in 1993. It can be accessed from Western Avenue, the road to Manchester through the Magnolia area.
Vernal Pond Critters. Celebration of Earth Day Event. For people of all ages. Parking can sometimes be challenging so plan to arrive early. Halibut Point State Park and Halibut Point Reservation are 67 acres of conserved, oceanside land located on Cape Ann in the town of Rockport, Massachusetts. The property is managed by The Trustees of Reservations.
Beginning in the 1840s, granite was quarried from this area, first on a small scale and primarily along the coast, and then on a much larger scale when the Rockport Granite Company acquired the Babson Farm quarry and expanded its operation. Shortly after the Cape Ann granite industry collapsed in 1929, 17 acres on the eastern side of the quarry were purchased and given to the Trustees of Reservations. The remainder of the area sat unused until late in World War II when a fire control tower (now the park's Visitors Center) was constructed to provide aiming information for the massive coastal defense guns that guarded Boston and Portsmouth Harbors.
We'll be at the Cell Signaling Technology Volunteer Fair with a Native Snake Display and a few of our favorite snakes. Tozer Road Location - May 2 from 3-5pm Trask Lane Location - May 16 from 3-5pm This event is designed for CST employees and their families to encourage and promote community volunteerism. Cell Signaling Technology... "Community exists on the smallest of scales but extends the world over. Everyone in a company shares a culture, with subcultures in each group and department. It’s important to us that we do good equally, helping each other within the company and those around us, near and far. So many things contribute to a rich and vibrant culture: the arts and humanities, giving and activism, how we celebrate accomplishments and recognize excellence. Perhaps the most important component is how we help each other when we see a need. We strive to build employee engagement to foster a positive work culture and an inclusive company community through corporate partnerships, volunteering, and giving, to engage our employees in good citizenship and work/life balance. To give back to our communities, we focus on inspiring the next generation of scientists, protecting the environment, helping the underserved, and supporting the arts."
