The goal of the event is to support and share information with teachers and students in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This event was a great opportunity for us to share information about Westinghouse, what we do at the Columbia Plant, and our contribution to developing cleaner, stainable, safe, and efficient energy with teachers, parents, local officials, and the future STEM leaders within our community.
