Corps promotes STEM careers at Fort Stewart
FORT STEWART, Ga. – Members of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District, Fort Stewart Resident Office visited Diamond Elementary School April 4 to promote careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). Matt Kilmer, a mechanical engineer, and Craig Walters, a civil engineer, talked to an estimated 125 students grades K-6 about STEM careers offered by the Corps of Engineers. The “STEMposium” featured a day-long expo with presentations from the Corps of Engineers in addition to other community groups such as Georgia Southern, Savannah State University, Gulfstream, and Georgia Power. This event was hosted by one of the Corps' military customers, the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA). The Corps' participation in this important STEM outreach event further reinforced its partnership with DoDEA and supports the Corps' commitment to serving warfighters and their families.
