Chicago Tube and Iron laser fabrication team participates in STEM Fest

On March 4 the Romeoville, Ill.-based Chicago Tube and Iron laser fabrication team participated in Romeoville Library’s STEM Fest 2017. Students participated in hands-on demonstrations from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) leaders.

According to the U. S. Department of Commerce, STEM occupations are growing at 17 percent, while other occupations are growing at 9.8 percent. STEM creates critical thinkers and will help produce our future innovators.

This Chicago Tube and Iron group intrigued young students with a magnetic board demonstration. The students enjoyed dropping the golf ball and watching it make its way down the steel enclosed boxes.
