We're proud to support #STEMEducation alongside SIMCO at WIPP!
WIPP project participants shared science with area students at the second annual STEM Passport to Adventure event in the Carlsbad Halagueno Arts Park on Saturday. The event was organized by the Carlsbad Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship Committee and Carlsbad Municipal Schools for students in kindergarten through sixth grade. SIMCO and Edgewater Federal Solutions, Inc. were both sponsors of the event and staffed activity stations. Science activities were also provided by the DOE Carlsbad Field Office and Sandia and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Among the activities were oozing oobleck, carbon dioxide balloons, straw and red cup engineering challenges, marble runs, a fossil dig, lemon batteries, pH testing, and magnetic slime. About a dozen area organizations staffed stations, and after completing each activity, students could have their passport stamped for the opportunity to win science kits and other prizes! #STEMEducation
