Minnesota Wing Squadron STEM Night

At a recent meeting, members of Minnesota Wing's Viking Composite Squadron flights enjoyed some individual STEM exploration.

Bravo flight learned about solar power.

Charlie flight delved into electricity with the help of Snap Circuits kits. Cadets broke into groups of 4 per kit and used the instruction booklet to put together multiple experiments to explore electricity.

And Tango and Alpha flights teamed up to examine the layers of the atmosphere. Using layers of honey, corn syrup, dish soap, and the like, to represent the troposhere, stratosphere, and all the rest, cadets were able to visualize the multiple layers of Earth's atmosphere. They also discussed what you might find in each layer, such as airplanes, clouds, satellites, birds, etc.
