The annual contest is sponsored by Tyler Technologies Inc., a Plano, Texas-based provider of software and technology solutions with more than 1,200 employees in Maine. 

SMRT Architects & Engineers recently moved to larger space in the Queen City.

A roundup of construction news from around Maine includes Tyler Tech's new Orono office space, an Avesta Housing site in Scarborough and Hometown Health Center’s future site in Palmyra.

The new office, on the edge of the University of Maine campus, is expected to employ roughly 75 full-time and part-time workers.

The annual contest introduces students to science, technology, engineering and math, and supports the notion that young people can find opportunities in Maine.

The University of Maine and Tyler Technologies are launching an extended partnership to get students involved in STEM-related careers and education opportunities. 

Bradley Hodges, who leads SMRT's science, technology and manufacturing practice, will succeed longtime leader Ellen Belknap as president at the start of 2024.

Maine construction firms are busy with projects ranging from an elementary school in Skowhegan to a Tyler Technologies site in Orono to a renovation for a Hannaford supermarket in Scarborough.

The annual contest challenges students to show off their skills and creativity by building a mobile application.
