My design entry for the @Spoonflower @princessAwesomegirls collaboration.
A Fun design with a serious message.
This is the 3D Molecular structure of Polyethylene. This is what most commercial plastic is made from. I hope through this design we can raise awareness of the damage Plastic is causing to our oceans, marine life…and ultimately us. What ends up in our oceans, will end up in us as well.
If you like this design, then please drop by and vote, or heart, or comment… www.spoonflower.com/contests/princess-awesome …

More than 40 fifth-grade students from Gouverneur Middle School met with a team of EOD (explosive ordnance disposal) specialists Oct. 14 outside the Fort Drum STARBASE Academy for a STEM career demonstration. The Soldiers with the 760th Ordnance Company, one of two EOD companies stationed at Fort Drum, explained how they are trained to detect, disarm and dispose of explosive munitions. Afterward, students got to explore firsthand the massive transport vehicle the Soldiers arrived in and the robots they use on missions. (Photo by Mike Strasser, Fort Drum Garrison Public Affairs)

Students from McLoughlin Middle School and Chiawana High School in Pasco, WA, compete in MESA Day.
MESA Day USA is a three-day event with participation from MESA Centers across country. Students from Arizona, California, Colorado, Maryland, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Washington along with teachers, parents, and MESA coordinators will compete in an engineering design challenge.
In addition to helping students develop valuable learning, team management, communication, and leadership skills, the national event provides an opportunity for MESA USA members to share and expand strategies that work. It also allows the MESA programs to share resources and provide industry sponsors with the highest return on their investments.
