Saturday, about 1,800 middle school and high school students from 10 states participated in our second Science Olympiad Invitational. As part of the Invitational, the Wright State University Army ROTC program hosted the U.S. Army STEM Experience vehicle. Twenty AROTC cadets helped facilitate and direct the high school students' educational experience of averting a fictional biological and chemical crisis. The U.S. Army STEM vehicle was located at Turning Points Plaza during the competition and relocated to the Wright State University Nutter Center prior to the awards ceremony. About 100 high school students took part in this interactive scenario. A team of U.S. Army soldiers and scientists briefed the students regarding the current situation and showed them how their skills are needed to protect the lives of many thousands of civilians. Students used touch screen computer stations to build and launch science and technology-based solutions to avert the environmental crisis. The STEM Experience increased awareness of opportunities in the fields of leadership and education and showcased science, technology, engineering, and mathematics-related training and careers available to future U.S. Army officers.

The Cadet Corps hits the woods for their Day of Training
Nearly 60 MS I, MS II, MS III and MS IV Cadets participate in our fall Day of Training (DOT). The Raider Battalion used MS IV Cadets to assist in the planning, coordination & execution of the DOT. The DOT focused on individual training tasks and events as the building blocks for progressively more difficult situations later in the SY. Moreover, the DOT allowed our cadre to modify conditions in order to maximize the training benefit to the Cadets.
