Dear Families, It’s ExpoFest time!!
ESUMS will have six teams competing against other CT schools. Teams will set up their interactive exhibitions at the Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford,CT to display and pitch their work to the public. Each project will be assessed by a panel of judges comprised of business professionals, higher-education faculty, and experts in the realms of science, technology and business.
Over 40 Connecticut high schools participating in Skills21 programs will be celebrating a year’s work of innovation, creativity, and imagination on Saturday, May 14, 2016, at the Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford, CT.
