Kangas hopes STEM outreach buds greater interest among area students
A rocket sled designed by the “Shockwave Team,” a group of students from Alamogordo High School, heads down the Holloman High Speed Test Track at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M. Heather Kangas, 704th Test Group K-12 STEM Outreach coordinator, helped get students involved in this effort which involves the students designing a sled to be tested on the track. In her role, Kangas works to expose elementary, middle and high school students in the Alamogordo Public Schools system to science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM, concepts. The 704th at Holloman AFB is a unit of the Arnold Engineering Development Complex, headquartered at Arnold Air Force Base, Tennessee. (U.S. Air Force photo)
