Dan Falcone, chair of the Science Department, writes: The National Science Teachers Association conference came to Boston in March, and HHS teachers were there! Six science teachers from the high school traveled down to enjoy workshops on new technology for exposing students to science, listen to nationally-renowned speakers, and ogle the products and services (and freebies!) at the exhibition booths.
Our own chemistry teacher Kevin Lavigne presented a talk entitled, “Legos: The NXT Generation." Kevin detailed the abilities of the new NXT Lego system to engage students in competitions involving engineering principles and programming. He is pictured with some of his ardent fans (left to right, John Phipps, Carl Mehrbach, Kevin Lavigne, Dan Falcone, Casey Milender.)
