H2M participates in L.I. Works S.M.A.R.T. Expo

H2M, a multi-disciplined engineering and architectural service firm participated in the Long Island Works Coalition S.M.A.R.T. EXPO on March 27.  The Long Island Works Coalition Junior Achievement of New York and Motorola, Inc. partnered to bring the 2008 Science, Math, Art, Reading & Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) Expo to middle school students on Long Island. More than 400 Long Island middle school students spent the day at the Huntington Hilton, visiting 20 interactive, hands-on S.M.A.R.T. booths hosted by 20 Long Island companies.   Students were inspired to explore and develop critical thinking and creative problem solving skills using the five S.M.A.R.T. disciplines, Science, Math, Art, Reading and Technology.  The S.M.A.R.T. Expo also helped young people gain insight into what it takes to succeed in the workplace by teaching them how to interact and communicate with others.   H2M assisted the "Office of the Profession" booth at the SMART Expo. H2M's activity demonstrated the basic fundamentals of design, drafting and architecture. The project coordinators from H2M that helped instruct the students at the SMART Expo were Ronald Lanner, Jennifer Curtin, Adam Post and Jessica Soskil.
