Colin Stewart, an eighth-grader at Freeport Middle School, competes in a recent cardboard boat event at the Casco Bay YMCA in Freeport. Students from the school were engaging in the FLEX program, which was developed to integrate curriculum across subject areas. The class time is built within the school schedule and students in the FLEX program meet as often as in other core classes. The cardboard boat activity is meant to implement science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) in learning about buoyancy, constructing models and determining the appropriate volume of their boat to maintain a positive buoyancy. The FLEX class started the year with a low- and high ropes team-building session.
