Inspiring students in West Texas


Last month, Pantex Women in Nuclear hosted Introduce a Girl to Engineering, an event geared toward inspiring girls to pursue careers in STEM. Sandia employees from the Weapons Evaluation Test Laboratory and Tri-Labs, both located at the Pantex Plant outside Amarillo, Texas, participated in the event where students did hands-on activities and had career conversations with STEM professionals.
