🤖 Robots on the Move!

We hosted 27 teams from 9 Maine schools last Saturday at Maine Maritime Academy for our VEX V5 “Push Back” robotics competition — and what a showdown! After a day of tight matches, the Tournament Champions were revealed: the Snugglemuffins from John Bapst ...High School, who brought their A-game (and some serious robot swagger).

Huge congratulations to all the teams for their creativity, teamwork, and passion for engineering. Thanks to everyone who came out, cheered, and supported these amazing young innovators.

🎖️ Honoring Service. Preserving Freedom.

This morning, Maine Maritime Academy gathered to recognize and thank those who have served our nation. In his remarks, Capt. Justin Cooper reminded us that “service is a lifelong commitment to something greater than ourselves.”

...From those who wore the uniform to those who continue to serve as mentors, first responders, and leaders in our communities—your courage, compassion, and dedication inspire us all.

To every veteran on our campus, in our community, and beyond: thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your example. 🇺🇸

On Saturday, November 8, more than 70 prospective students and their families took a deep dive into Maine Maritime Academy’s academic programs during our Academic Focus Open House. ⚓️

They explored our labs, simulators, and training vessels; met with faculty, staff, and current ...students; and gained firsthand insight into all that MMA has to offer.

Our open houses are a great opportunity to visit campus, experience our hands-on learning environment, and discover why Maine Maritime Academy may be the perfect fit for your future.

Our next Open House is scheduled for April 4, 2026 — we hope to see you there!

Thank you to everyone who joined us last weekend. We can’t wait to see where your course leads next! 🌊
