ADVANCING SCIENCE RESEARCH TEACHING
This summer, thanks to a grant from Regeneron and Zeiss, MSSF is pleased to have Michael Blueglass run his Advancing Science Research Teaching course to 20 Maine high school teachers. Michael was a high school science teacher for 35 years. He started out teaching biology, chemistry, and environmental science. In 2001, he started a STEM research club which grew into a year-round research course. Michael is now the President of the Regeneron-Westchester Science & Engineering Fair.
