“Plans to build a science and technology center next to the Duanesburg YMCA will be discussed at a meeting Thursday evening at the YMCA.
The Schoharie Mohawk Initiative for Science and Technology has acquired a 1-acre site for the center next to the YMCA. The initiative’s board of directors will host the public meeting, which will start at 6 p.m., to discuss the plans.
“We are in the beginning stages of deciding what the scope of the facility will be,” said Walter Silva, of Duanesburg, co-founder and president of the initiative. “We’re trying to see what the community wants.
The non-profit organization was established in 2014, with the goal of creating a community center that would be focused on promoting STEM disciplines — science, technology, engineering and math. The group wants to encourage participation in programs like First LEGO League and SeaPerch, the latter being a program that helps students develop underwater robotic systems.”
