How to Help in Maine App
The purpose of my ELO was to learn how to code using the language of Swift in Xcode. I set out to develop an app that made the website howtohelpinmaine.org more mobile friendly and then submit my app to Tyler Technologies Maine App Challenge.

Emi Schneider, Senior
Outdoor discovery and education program
“I am passionate about the environment and how positively it can affect a person's wellbeing. The idea is to plan a trip/outdoor excursion, potentially for the junior class in the spring. This trip would be centered around time outside, learning about the environment, bonding as a class, and having fun. Our hope is that this trip will help students of the junior class to bond and feel more psychologically prepared to enter senior year and feel more centered in embarking on the next part of their lives.”
