Peterborough Regional Science Fair:
In April, BWXT volunteers spent their morning judging student projects at the 57th Annual Peterborough Regional Science Fair held at Trent University. Promoting, supporting and educating the community about STEAM-related opportunities (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) is of great importance to our company and to our employees, which is why BWXT has been a proud sponsor for many years.
Prince of Wales Public School:
Earlier this year, we provided funding to Prince of Wales Public School to restock their library with new STEAM books and resources. To expand the impact of our donation, we worked with the school to organize a Career Day. Our employees had a great time talking about their roles at BWXT, the pathways they took to get started in their careers, and sharing insights into the skills and experiences that have shaped their professional journeys. The students in grades 7 and 8 were eager to learn and engaged with our team, asking thoughtful questions and expressing interest in various disciplines. We are proud to collaborate with Prince of Wales Public School to help shape the future of young learners!
Western Technical-Commercial School:
As long-time sponsors of Western Technical-Commercial School’s FIRST Robotics Program, we were thrilled to see Team 865-WARP 7 demonstrate their remarkable knowledge and skill in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) during the FIRST Robotics Competition earlier this spring. This dedicated group of high school students showcased their skills in the practical application of designing, manufacturing, assembling, and programing a robot to compete in this prestigious annual event. To additionally support local students at Western Technical-Commercial School, BWXT provides annual student awards to assist young STEAM students in fulfilling their potential at their chosen post-secondary school. We hope some of these young learners will come work for us in the future. Congratulations to Team 865-WARP 7 on another successful year!
