Today, Director Matt Petermann attended the NASCAR Xfinity Series Mobil 301 at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway as a guest of the Maritime Industrial Base, Team Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing, and buildsubmarines.com. Director Petermann was able to talk with industry partners about the future workers of America that The Sanford Regional Technical Center are preparing on an annual basis.

What a week! Today wraps up our 5th annual SRTC Middle School Summer Camp with 70+ 6th-8th grade students from 9 of our partner schools participating in SRTC programs. Campers spent the week learning from SRTC instructors in Precision Manufacturing, Video Production, Firefighting, Law Enforcement, Cosmetology, and Carpentry Exploration. They learned equipment safety, built projects to take home, ran fire hose, produced a short film, perfected their nail art and up-do’s and tested their driving skills in the cruiser driving simulator. The hot days were made cooler by a visit from @KonaIceofYorkCounty and a run through the fire truck sprinkler. We had current and former students who volunteered their time to come in and help instructors throughout the week and we can’t thank them enough for building these connections with the campers. The campers' faces all week seem to indicate success. At one point, they were asked to share positive things about a new peer they had met and almost all shared attributes that included, “kind, fun, helpful, cool” and they seemed to be in awe of what they had learned and from whom in our awesome facility. Hopefully some will return to be students at SRTC down the line and regardless take away a positive experience of CTE. #CTEforME #MaineCTE #SRTC
