Local schools and city leadership invited
to participate in interactive STEM showcases
Veolia North America hosted Central Doors Open on Thursday,
the first of a series of events in several locations aimed at
encouraging middle- and high- school students to participate in
STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics)
activities.
Several local lawmakers participated in the events, held at
wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and across the Midwest in
states including Kansas, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas, where recent
innovations in the use and conservation of city utilities were
highlighted.
Many of the water and energy facilities offered interactive
educational programs, where students visited sites and participated
in “Water Box” activities designed to promote the understanding and
importance of returning waste products safely to the
environment.
In Oklahoma City, Veolia partnered with Redlands Community
College and the local Canadian Valley Technology Center for a
career day event focusing on STEM education and career paths. In
Texas and Ohio, Veolia hosted open houses for new local government
representatives and city employees to increase understanding of
