Members of the North Platte Community College STEM Club traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s annual meeting March 2-5.
The members were Daniel Start, of North Platte; Camrin Coco, of Stapleton; Kaylee Guerrero, of Indianola; Taylor Battershaw, of Valentine; Juan Zanguitu, of 30 de Agosto, Argentina and NPCC math and physics instructor Jared Daily.
Each year, leading scientists, educators, policymakers and journalists gather to discuss cutting-edge developments in science, technology and policy at the AAAS Annual Meeting. This year’s conference featured groundbreaking multi-disciplinary research – specifically geared toward responding to the needs of humanity.
STEM Club members attended a variety of workshops and seminars and also spent time touring monuments, museums and other historical sites in the nation’s capital.
The STEM Club hosted star-gazing shows throughout the year to help offset the cost of the trip. Additional funding came from NPCC’s Student Senate organization.
