CDE Volunteers for Cape View Elementary

CDE's very own Construction Manager, Mark Lueders, recently volunteered to demonstration Faraday’s Law of Induction to children at Cape View Elementary School in Cape Canaveral, FL.   In addition to learning about Faraday's law, Mr. Lueders also demonstrated to the class why Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) is so important with performing experiments of any kind.  In fact, PPE gear was given to all in the class!

This year’s participation was great and young children learned a good hands-on science lesson and a bit about safety

Thanks for your efforts Mark.
