Southwest MiSTEM - Growlers Game

A team from AR Engineering participated in Education Day at Homer Stryker Field, with Dustin Thornton, Rachel Knighton and Stephanie Putt arriving early to set-up for the day! Students from several local school districts arrived eager to explore various hands-on exhibits.  They were very interested in the sandcastle building activity provided by AR Engineering, which demonstrated mechanically stabilized earth (MSE), and couldn’t wait to dig in! Students were encouraged to build a non-MSE sandcastle and an MSE sandcastle, and then drop the hammer on both to see the difference in strength provided by the fabric reinforcement.  The morning activities wrapped up at 11 AM with everyone invited to attend the Growler’s game, where they beat the Battle Jacks 12-7.
