Our SIMCO team had a blast at our yearly spring event themed "Take Me Out to the Ballgame". Our employee picnic took place last Saturday along the Pecos River in Carlsbad. Employees and their families enjoyed a catered barbecue lunch, participated in dunking management for charity, were entertained by a local DJ, jumped in inflatables, enjoyed the Carlsbad Water Park, and many left with exciting door prizes.

WIPP project participants shared science with area students at the second annual STEM Passport to Adventure event in the Carlsbad Halagueno Arts Park on Saturday. The event was organized by the Carlsbad Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship Committee and Carlsbad Municipal Schools for students in kindergarten through sixth grade. SIMCO and Edgewater Federal Solutions, Inc. were both sponsors of the event and staffed activity stations. Science activities were also provided by the DOE Carlsbad Field Office and Sandia and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Among the activities were oozing oobleck, carbon dioxide balloons, straw and red cup engineering challenges, marble runs, a fossil dig, lemon batteries, pH testing, and magnetic slime. About a dozen area organizations staffed stations, and after completing each activity, students could have their passport stamped for the opportunity to win science kits and other prizes! #STEMEducation

New Mexico Military Institute made our region proud over the weekend in Washington, D.C., at the DOE’s National Science Bowl, which showcased many exceptional teams. The winners of the first DOE/SIMCO Regional Science Bowl not only took part in the competition but in a Science Day Program, which featured experts in a variety of scientific fields working around the DOE complex. Supporting the national event from WIPP was SIMCO Education Outreach Lead Dr. Joy Foster, who was able to bring back a lot of great information for next year’s regional science bowl. “The National Science Bowl is an experience like no other!” she said. “Supporting the various roles for the competition was an extraordinary opportunity. Meeting so many wonderful people who have a love for STEM was truly awesome. The passion and dedication of everyone involved made it an unforgettable experience.” Many thanks to Department of Energy, Carlsbad Field Office (CBFO) and SIMCO management and area communities for their unwavering support of the newly established U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)/SIMCO Regional Science Bowl, which made this incredible opportunity for future STEM leaders possible. “We are already looking forward to hosting the next DOE/SIMCO Regional Science Bowl,” James-Foster said. “We are excited to continue fostering scientific excellence in our community and beyond.” #NationalScienceBowl2024
