MESA continues to evolve.

MESA is evolving each day. We continue to receive support from our educational and industry partners. Many of you may not realize that MESA has over 3000 students enrolled in the program and they are supported by over 300 teachers. While most of the students focus on the MESA activities, there are some who expand their horizon and pursue additional opportunities such as building a Sea Perch or programming a robot with the graphing calculator.

Three teams just competed in the Botball competition. The schools were Howard High in Howard County, The Stadium School and Northeast Middle School; both schools are located in Baltimore City. The Stadium School won first place in the Botball Alliance Challenge category. This team was mentored by one of our own here at APL, Dwight Carr!
