In November, 7th graders attended STEM Day at Rolla S&T. They toured the on-campus foundry and the Kummer Student Design Center and watched demos, participated on teams with their peers, and got to ask current S&T students questions about their work stations and degrees. They also attended a seminar about job opportunities in the world of STEM.
