24 BOONE PICKENS SCHOOL OF GEOLOGY Outreach Activities Following two years of suspended school visits as the result of COVID, outreach activities to schools and other student groups returned in 2022. In the spring we participated in two events. We traveled to Midwest City to participate in Career Day at Carl Albert High School Career Day followed by the Ever Moore career and college introduction day in Moore Oklahoma. The Moore event included students from both Moore and West Moore high schools. In the summer, we participated in State 4-H Roundup and visited with students from across the state. A highlight of this event was Dr. Quan’s getting Pistol Pete to test the permeability of sandstone Grammer tubes. We also participated in Grandparent’s University, a program for elementary and mid-school students. In the fall, we visited Rush Springs Oklahoma to participate in Family Stem Night. Besides working with the students, we enjoyed dining excellence as guests at the chili cookoff that was part of the event. We appreciate the help of Lauren Haygood, Silas Samuel and Lori Huck, who helped make these events successful. Dr. Quan shows students the minerals that make granite at the Rush Springs STEM Family Night. Dr. Burkett talks to students about a trilobite fossil at the OK EPSCoR Women in Science Conference. PhD student Lauren Haygood shows off mastodon teeth and other fossils at the Oklahoma State 4-H Roundup. PhD student Joshua Ademiola instructs students on a geophysics demonstration using an iPad magnetometry app at the OK EPSCoR Women in Science Conference.
