Exciting STEM Event at Maine Maritime Academy Yesterday!

Maine Maritime Academy was thrilled to host the Maritime Plastic Works (MPW) competition in collaboration with Portsmouth Naval Shipyard’s STEM Outreach Program!

Middle school students from Adams School and Penobscot ...Community School have worked tirelessly to design and build six 3D-printed, remote-controlled boats. These vessels were constructed with lessons in maritime design, fabrication techniques, electrical circuitry, and teamwork—mirroring real-world naval shipyard processes.

Yesterday, their hard work was put to the test in an exciting competition at MMA’s pool, featuring speed challenges, maneuverability tasks, and even a game of capture the flag!

This year’s boat class is named after David Philbrook ’82, a proud MMA alumnus and a leader in shipbuilding, honored for his contributions to the Arleigh Burke Class Destroyers. David was in attendance to inspire students and celebrate their achievements.

We’re proud to support the next generation of innovators and introduce them to the possibilities of a STEM career in the maritime industry.

Last week, Maine Maritime Academy’s Interim President, Craig Johnson, joined Gillian Katz, Gulf of Maine Research Institute Ventures Program Manager, for an inspiring discussion as part of the Sea State: Thriving Blue Economy series.

The Gulf of Maine, warming faster than many of the ...world’s oceans, is a hub of resilience and innovation. This dynamic environment thrives due to unique factors like global currents and ocean floor structures, which help it adapt to climate change. Coastal communities, including those connected to MMA, have shown similar determination in embracing change and driving progress.

During the event, Craig Johnson highlighted MMA’s role in fostering workforce development for the blue economy, while Gillian Katz shared insights into the collaborations and innovations advancing this critical field. Together, they showcased how partnerships along Maine’s coast are shaping a brighter future for both the ecosystem and its communities.
