National Science Foundation-University of Maine GK-12 Sensors! Program

GK-12 Sensors!, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), is part of a national initiative to increase the education and vision of young people in science, engineering and math. GK-12 Sensors! brings cutting-edge research in sensors to Maine secondary-school students. Begun as a collaboration between faculty at Bangor High School in Bangor, Maine and an interdisciplinary team of engineers and scientists working in sensors at the University of Maine, Orono,GK-12 Sensors! has expanded into fourteen (14) high-, middle- and elementary schools in central Maine. These schools serve as models for other Maine schools interested in participating in the program. To learn more about the program:
