Academy for Science and Design Open House is Oct. 27

The Academy for Science and Design (ASD), a public charter school located in Nashua, New Hampshire, is hosting an event on Monday, October 27, 2014 from 8:30 - 10:30 am for industry professionals and leaders in New Hampshire’s legislative body. This event will include an informative tour of the school which will be followed by a panel discussion about STEM education with some of ASD’s high school students.

New Hampshire faces a critical shortage of students who develop and sustain their interest in STEM fields from elementary school through college. The Academy for Science and Design, the state’s top-performing public school and largest STEM-specialty school, is aimed at expanding students’ interest and ability in STEM locally and statewide.

Participants in this event include: Senator Peggy Gilmour, Norman Bartlett, President of Creative Sensor Technology, Representative Linda Harriott-Gathright, Alderman-at-Large Jim Donchess, Senator Bette Lasky, Representative Judith Spang, Alderman-at-Large Diane Sheehan, Shauna Kozinski, Relationship Manager at Santander Bank, Alexandra Carter of BAE Systems, Shaunae Nolet, Business Development Director at the Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce, Representative David Murotake, the CFO at the office of Scott F. Bobbitt, DMD, Matt Southerton, Director of NH Center for Innovative Schools, Brian Smith, Director of Engineering at United Technologies, Thomas Galligani, Economic Development Director for the office of the Mayor, Ken Glossop, Principal Engineer at Intel, and many more.

The Academy for Science and Design is actively seeking to partner with local companies and businesses for student centered activities such as internships in STEM fields for our students, contributions of funding or resources, and/or presenters for our SPARK Conferences. Financial donations can be an outright financial contribution in the amount of your choice, or can consist of underwriting costs for installing a specific facility, technology or program. More information can be found on our website at www.asdnh.org or by contacting Amy Bewley, Coordinator of Admissions, Marketing and Communications at Amy.Bewley@asdnh.org. Admission for the 2015-2016 school year is now open.
