Another Engineering Week, another opportunity to shape young minds. This year, Jason helped judge the Toothpick Bridge competition at the Science Museum once again while the whole crew chatted with elementary school students. Pre-K and Kindergarten students learned about the Earth’s layers, basic geology and the different types of engineering. They enjoyed learning about the Earth’s layers as they used colored play doh to make their very own globes. Second graders got a field trip to Red Rock Consulting’s office to learn about soil sampling and testing. They “cored” into layers of cake, candy, frosting and other sweet treats to get a tasty sample to eat as they learned about geotechnical engineering. They also explored the lab and performed real soils testing with the lab guys. It was a great E-week and the thank you letters were priceless!!
