This month, Commissioner Makin speaks with Sarah Hinson and Liam Hannah, two students who she recently met during a visit to Yarmouth High School to learn more about their Extended Learning Opportunities. Extended Learning Opportunities, or ELOs, allow students to explore their passions through hands-on, interdisciplinary applied learning. Sarah is getting school credit and paid work experience at Portland Veterinary Hospital, and Liam engaged in a summer ELO to build and program a serving robot. ELOs offer students many creative and flexible opportunities to explore what they are passionate about and gain knowledge and skills that will set them up for success in life.
