Encouraging STEM with Safety Demo
Tuesday | October 11, 2022

Local businesses filled the hangars at the Culpeper Airport for the two-day Airfest STEM event for a day of hands-on learning and fun. REC joined in the educational opportunity and provided a safety demonstration to hundreds of 5th grade students as they rotated through the exhibits. Linemen Chuck Tippett, Don Diamantis and Brandon Walker enjoyed interacting with the students and answering their many questions.
