Crane to be the first location outside of Pennsylvania to hold the Sea, Air and Land Challenge
The Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center’s, Sea, Air and Land Challenge is scheduled for Saturday 9 at Ivy Tech Community College’s main campus in Bloomington. The challenge is a new Science, Technology, Engineering and Math initiative also known as STEM. The focus is on engineering and robotics that fosters interest in DoD technologies by giving kids hands-on engineering experience and exposure to the Special Operations community. Penn State’s Electro-Optics Center developed the program to establish a sustainable STEM program that introduces high school students to engineering processes and opportunities in the Navy and Department of Defense (DoD). The goal is to make the event a nationwide challenge, and NSWC Crane is the first location outside of Pennsylvania to conduct its own Sea, Air and Land Challenge. Eleven teams with a total of 86 students from eight different Indiana schools will compete in the challenge.
