On Saturday, May 18th, I represented both NASA and NOAA at the Science, Technology, Education and Math or STEM event at Pease Air base in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Today's blog shares info and photos from it.
Pease Air National Guard Base hosted a STEM Open House May 18, 2024
ABOUT PEASE: Pease Air National Guard Base is a New Hampshire Air National Guard base located at Portsmouth International Airport at Pease in New Hampshire.
ABOUT THE EVENT: The event featured dozens of local, regional and national leaders in science, technology, engineering and math through displays, interactive activities, exhibitor booths and PeaseX, short-form informational talks on featured subjects. Half of the exhibitors were housed in an airplane hangar (including me), like the Portsmouth Naval Yard. The others were outside the hangar, under cloudy (and fortunately rain-free) skies.
ABOUT THE PORTSMOUTH NAVAL SHIPYARD: The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, often called the Portsmouth Navy Yard, is a United States Navy shipyard on Seavey's Island in Kittery, Maine, bordering Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The naval yard lies along the southern boundary of Maine on the Piscataqua River. Founded in 1800, PNS is U.S. Navy's oldest continuously operating shipyard. Today, most of its work concerns the overhaul, repair, and modernization of submarines
There were also several robotics companies and groups that were present. One of them had what worked like a robotic dog and the other had a robot that impressed me as one that could be used to defuse bombs. At one point the two robots interacted, and I captured a short video.
