BSMA News:

Enterprise Bank & Trust and the Bradbury Science Museum Association (BSMA), are in a partnership to provide bus transportation for students attending Title 1 schools in northern New Mexico, to visit the Bradbury Science Museum in Los Alamos.

Between Feb. 19 and Feb. 26, Enterprise provided the bus transportation for more than 200 students, teachers and chaperones from Early College Opportunities in Santa Fe, Bloomfield Elementary in Bloomfield, Penasco Elementary in Penasco and El Camino Real Academy in Santa Fe.

During the field trip, the students participated in projects with themes ranging from engineering to history based on the age group.

These projects include:

  • Building a tower out of 50 3×5 cards that can support the weight of a particular stuffed animal;
  • Designing wind turbine blades that are tested on a miniature wind turbine;
  • Designing a speaker that is as loud as possible;
  • Designing a structure that will survive an earthquake;
  • Watching the movie “Racing Towards Dawn” and then doing a series of activities using the same communication technics used during WWII; and
  • Playing “Battleship” using Morse Code on two telegraph stations that are hooked together.
