The Hurlburt Field Chapter 398 participated in the Fort Walton Beach Junior League’s Spring Science Explosion on March 28. The annual event provides local children and their families an opportunity to see and experience the excitement of science. Over twenty organizations provided activities for the 200+ children who attended, despite inclement weather and a late move from the Fort Walton Beach Landing to the Hedricks Recreation Center. Exhibits included a hovercraft chair from the Choctawhatchee Aviation Institute, an Air Force Explosive Ordinance Disposal Team and their gear, and the University of West Florida Engineering Department with a display of small robots. Kim Moore, Max Friedauer, Dann Mattiza and John Jogerst manned a display of the Chapter’s educational activities, AFA literature, and membership information. This event was a great opportunity for the Chapter to get young kids excited about science and technology.
