On Saturday March 11 Charles County Public Schools once
again held its History,
Industry, Technology, and Science (H.I.T.S.) Expo at St Charles High
School in Waldorf, Maryland. There were forty-four tables and nine
classroom activities/presentations sponsored
by different organizations and school groups with CCASM having two of
the tables. A lot
was going on. There was a variety of hands-on activities to engage the
students (and the adults).
