🌈 The rain didn't spoil any fun at SMI Mad Scientist Camp today! 🌈
We kicked off the morning by building Chem Cars and creating colorful Marbled Paper with our good friends from Lubrizol—thank you for helping spark curiosity and creativity!
In the afternoon, campers launched into action with Glow String Shooters.
💥 From chemical reactions to surface tension, inertia, and momentum, today was packed with science in motion.
This is what STEM looks like when it’s powered by imagination and engagement! 🧪🚗✨

🚀 Exciting day at Buckeye Local Schools' Ridgeview Elementary! The AWT Think Manufacturing Van rolled in this morning for the Careers on Wheels event, and what an impact we made!

Students in grades K through 2 had the opportunity to:
✅ Watch a 3D printer in action
✅ Learn all about the diverse and rewarding jobs in manufacturing
✅ Meet Bernard, our giant 3D printed axolotl!

At AWT, we believe in the importance of introducing young minds to the world of manufacturing. By showing them the innovative technologies and career paths available, we aim to inspire the next generation of creators, builders, and thinkers.

Manufacturing is an industry filled with opportunities for growth and development. We can't wait to see where these students' imaginations take them! 🌟
