This past Friday 550 of Maine\u2019s 7th\u00a0<\/sup>and 8th\u00a0<\/sup>graders convened at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor for the 5th\u00a0<\/sup>annual Maine Science Festival\u2019s Friday Field Trip Day.\u00a0 Some traveled from as far away as Eastport and Presque Isle to join in on the festivities. \u00a0CCAR hosted an interactive table showcasing sustainable aquaculture. \u00a0Our touch tank was brimming with critters from the coast of Maine for all to enjoy. \u00a0American Unagi\u00a0<\/a>and Maine Coast Sea Vegetables<\/a>, two fantastic local businesses that support sustainable aquaculture, joined us for the event.<\/p>\n

American Unagi\u2019s freshwater eels were a big hit with the kids. \u00a0The most common question of the day was, \u201cAre they electric?\u201d to which American Unagi\u2019s eel aquaculture technician Kathleen Marciano replied, \u201cNot these eels.\u201d \u00a0But if the participants really wanted to learn more about electricity, they simply had to visit GE Power\u2019s activity a couple of tables over.<\/p>\n

Maine Coast Sea Vegetables provided samples of a variety of their products for festivalgoers to try. \u00a0The Kelp Krunch Bars\u2122 were a crowd pleaser for sure!<\/p>\n

In addition to our table of touch and taste, students had the opportunity to explore a wide variety of activities that included engineering demonstrations provided by Cianbro<\/a>, computer science education from Project>Login<\/a>, and the opportunity to get up close and personal with a tuna and shark hosted by the University of Maine\u2019s School of Marine Sciences<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
