Learn about Lighting Tech!
Presenter: Kerri Warms (Siemens)
This interactive talk will discuss how through updated lighting technology we can mitigate covid exposure, monitor HVAC run time, drastically reduce energy, and predict building patterns. With using a sensor that goes into the light fixture, it can detect heat patterns in a building which will read back to the building automation system, in turn controlling the use of mechanical equipment.

Explore MIT App Inventor with UMaine 4-H.
Presenters: Greg Kranich, Shelia Norman & Emily Mott
Do you love using apps? Come build one with Maine 4-H staff! Youth will be able to create an app using the MIT App Inventor platform. This easy-to-use block coding environment will allow participants to design a fully functional app for a smartphone. No coding experience is necessary, just bring your imagination!

3D Printing and Digital Fabrication.
Presenter: James Rutter
This interactive talk will include a live demonstration of a 3D printer, in which some artifacts (possibility science-specific or Maine-specific) are printed. Students will learn about this technology and be able to take away some small items printed on the machine.

Augmented Reality and Art
Presenters: Susannah Gordon-Messer & Nate Vlahakis (MMSA)
Have you ever wanted to bring your drawings to life? Join our hands-on session where we'll introduce you to Quiver, a free mobile Augmented Reality (AR) app that does just that!.
