Field Trips
Open Minds
Local students from schools
across the region have a chance
to visit Oregon Museum of Sci-
ence and Industry (OMSI) with its
hands-on exhibits thanks to a free
program sponsored by Google to
introduce students in underserved
communities to science and math
careers.
At one recent OMSI Camp-In,
students from Rigler Elementary
in northeast Portland experiment-
ed with hands-on activities in
OMSI’s Turbine Hall, like explor-
ing the ocean through an augment-
ed reality sandbox, trying their
hand at managing a power grid
and seeing what it’s like inside of
a solar panel. They also took in a
planetarium show and a live sci-
ence demonstration presented by
OMSI staff.
“Hands-on experience in the
STEM field is extremely import-
ant to students’ awareness of the
kinds of careers open to them,”
said Google’s Darcy Nothnagle.
“We’re proud to work with OMSI
to make sure students in under-
served communities have oppor-
tunities to see how exciting sci-
ence can be.”
