- [Narrator] April is the month of the military child,

00:11.002 --> 00:14.040
and Humphreys Elementary has been making the most of it.

00:14.040 --> 00:16.817
Kindergarten classes visit the Humphreys Airfield for a tour

00:16.817 --> 00:20.592
that ties into the spirit of the month, as well as STEAM.

00:20.592 --> 00:23.546
STEAM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering,

00:23.546 --> 00:25.282
Arts, and Mathematics.

00:25.282 --> 00:29.113
- We give the children the opportunity to look at

00:29.113 --> 00:32.696
Army C-12s, Dash-7 Reconnaissance aircraft,

00:33.454 --> 00:36.487
some really great engineering equipment.

00:36.487 --> 00:38.284
(children exclaiming in awe)

00:38.284 --> 00:40.341
- [Narrator] The 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade and

00:40.341 --> 00:42.692
the 3rd Military Intelligence Battalion focus their

00:42.692 --> 00:46.675
airfield demonstrations around STEAMs fundamentals.

00:46.675 --> 00:50.052
They also emphasize STEAMs educational value.

00:50.052 --> 00:52.364
Plus, kids just seem to love robots.

00:52.364 --> 00:53.792
(children wowing)

00:53.792 --> 00:56.511
- STEAM opportunities gives our younger generation

00:56.511 --> 01:00.377
the ability to learn more about the STEAM careers

01:00.377 --> 01:03.336
and what's out there to prepare them for the future.

01:03.336 --> 01:05.022
I think its a great investment for our kids

01:05.022 --> 01:09.189
and I think our kids really had a great time this week.

01:10.014 --> 01:11.752
- [Narrator] Perhaps some of the children are even

01:11.752 --> 01:14.248
inspired to fly for the Army themself someday.

01:14.248 --> 01:17.529
(children chattering excitedly)

01:17.529 --> 01:21.143
Army Sergeant Stephen Dornbos, Camp Humphreys, Korea.

01:21.143 --> 01:23.265
- [Young Girl] Can I get up now?

01:23.265 --> 01:24.540
- [Girl] No, it's my turn.
