As a part of the Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE) STEM Outreach Team’s celebration of National Engineers Week, over 100 FRCE engineers recently visited 39 Eastern North Carolina schools, engaging over 4,700 students in fun engineering activities. Students from A.H. Bangert Elementary School in Trent Woods participated in a STEM-based learning activity called “safe landing.” This activity challenged the students to create a device that allows a cup containing a ping pong ball to land without the ball falling out.
