Southern Aroostook Middle School students in Grades 6 & 7 participated in the "Maine Winter Classic" this week sponsored by the Maine Department of Education and MLTI. The "Maine Winter Classic" provides an interactive game-based learning experience for students, as they “travel” around Maine on a virtual game board, completing a variety of tasks, earning tokens, and learning about topics like computer science, digital citizenship, digital design, and gamification. Pictured here are the students and their Technology & Science teacher Mrs. Hilary Lane.
