2nd grade students explore engineering

By Douglas J. Heckler

The Imagine Engineering Coloring Contest is a statewide youth education program for second grade students established in 1999 and sponsored by the Engineers Foundation of Ohio. This education program allows second grade teachers to schedule an in-class visit from a local member of the Ohio Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE).

Dexter Krueger, a Civil Engineer from Archbold, spoke to the second grade students at St. Mary of the Assumption School. He explained the jobs performed by different engineering disciplines and offered a demonstration for how we get municipal water supplies from water towers.

As part of this initiative, the Second Grade students participated in The “Imagine Engineering coloring contest with like students throughout Northwest Ohio. The winner for Northwest Ohio portion of the contest was Tyler Spray a student at St Marys. His entry will now be entered into the statewide contest.
