This week we had our 2nd annual field trip to the DuPont Innovation Center! 🎉 Thanks to a special grant, 16 of our students from The John Dickinson School got an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the innovation center, labs, and the onsite trades. 🙌
Students were split into pairs to explore STEM fields, labs, the fire station, EMS, and attend a panel discussion with employees who shared valuable career insights. 🔬🚒
Highlights included:
🔍 Observing real lab processes, like how metals are broken down and tested.
🔥 Visiting the fire station and putting out test fires on a computer screen.
💡 Touring the innovation center and handling groundbreaking inventions like bulletproof vests, phone components, and Teflon.
Huge thanks to DuPont for this amazing experience and the delicious catered lunch! 🍽️ The tour wrapped up with a lively Q&A panel where our students impressed everyone with their thoughtful questions. The moderator didn’t even need her prepared questions because our students covered them all! 👏
We are also very excited to announce that next year DuPont plans to expand this opportunity to 40-50 students, allowing us to include another school! We can't wait to see even more young minds inspired by this incredible experience. 🌟
