We are thrilled to announce the first Marine Makerfaire, in partnership with Project Oceanology and Spark Makerspace. This is an exciting opportunity for students in 7th thru 10th grades interested in robotics and/or marine sciences.
Students will learn about how technology and marine science come together in this full-day hands-on workshop. Activities include time on the water on one of Project Oceanology’s research vessels, and a session learning Arduino programming and building a sensor. Discussion on how this work can help solve environmental and maritime challenges will close the day.
Students receive lunch and and an Arduino sensor kit.

Groton Fall Festival

Categories: (none)
The Groton Business Association organized the first Groton Festival in 2006. It was born from an idea to create a community-wide event that would attract artists, crafters and businesses and nonprofit organizations to display their wares and information at Poquonnock Plains Park in Groton. Since its inception, the Fall Festival has grown dramatically. We now have over 110 vendors participating, and thousands of people from the local area and throughout the New England region attending this annual event.
Net proceeds from the festival will be used to support GBA events, including Groton’s Annual Holiday Lights Parade in December and projects throughout the year.
