District 16 held a STEM Expo at Miramichi Valley High School
recently. High school students had the opportunity to publicly demonstrate and explain
their work in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math to their
peers. They also competed in a wooden
bridge construction competition, some modelling
their design on the century old Morrissey Bridge that joins Newcastle
Miramichi with the south side of the river. Just such a design was used by the James M. Hill High winning entry of students
Jacob Woods, Mike Quann, and Fabian Pesch. Three area high schools, JMH, MVHS and NSER
also demonstrated their school drag cars
that recently competed in a provincially sanctioned racing competition which
was won by North and South Esk Regional High School . To see photos visit STEM May 2012 .
