On Saturday March 22 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 thirty-seven tables and six classroom activities/presentations sponsored by different organizations and school groups with CCASM having two of the tables. A lot was going on. There were a variety of hands-on activities to engage the students (and the adults), and there were lots of people. Initial feedback was this was the largest audience in the nine years of the EXPO.
One of CCASM's tables included a display depicting the various
archaeological skills related to
history and science. The other table contained an activity
we call "Archaeologists Dig for Clues" to show how archaeologist learn about a location and people from what they have left behind. We also had miscellaneous artifacts and photos to share. We didn't count the number of
students completing the activity but we were able to interact with a number of children as well as with their parents.
