Now that the team has been back for almost a week we have some time to reflect on all of our experiences.
For me one of the most rewarding portions of our trip to Alaska was doing outreach activities.
While at Barrow High school we were able to interact with 300 students! The best part was when two students raced to see who could solve the rubrics cube first!
In Anchorage we met about 80 more children at Alyeska Ski Resort, they were so much fun to talk with and so eager to learn about science
I have always believed that if you show a child interest and love, then nothing will be impossible for them in the future. So we really owe a big thank you to the USNA STEM office for providing us with a lot of great activities to do with the kids! From building a catapult to seeing how many drops of water can fit on a penny! It was truly refreshing having this opportunity; we as Midshipman forget how good we have it sometimes. I am looking forward to continuing STEM outreach in the future
