00:05.647 --> 00:07.642
- A wireless robot appears at a school gym

00:07.642 --> 00:08.908
with a tennis ball.

00:08.908 --> 00:10.161
The controller of this robot,

00:10.161 --> 00:12.165
a student of the Humphreys Middle School,

00:12.165 --> 00:14.772
handles the robotic arm
meticulously to place the ball

00:14.772 --> 00:16.005
on an exact spot.

00:16.005 --> 00:17.078
(children cheer)

00:17.078 --> 00:18.179
- Today, what we wanna do,

00:18.179 --> 00:20.462
is the kids learn about science,
technology, engineering,

00:20.462 --> 00:23.206
and mathematics in all of
the components of school.

00:23.206 --> 00:24.964
So what we wanna do is bring,

00:24.964 --> 00:27.095
what we learn in the classroom,
bring it to real life.

00:27.095 --> 00:28.402
So we're able to bring in the units

00:28.402 --> 00:29.716
around the military bases,

00:29.716 --> 00:31.497
where a lot of the kids have
put what they've learned

00:31.497 --> 00:33.730
into real world applications.

00:33.730 --> 00:35.987
- The students participate
in STEM activities with the

00:35.987 --> 00:39.965
bomb squad, robot operation,
helicopter, and canine unit.

00:39.965 --> 00:42.069
- In the classroom,
we're just sitting there,

00:42.069 --> 00:44.523
and sometimes you're questioning,

00:44.523 --> 00:46.211
"When are we ever gonna use this,

00:46.211 --> 00:47.979
is it really gonna help us",

00:47.979 --> 00:51.203
but I say whenever we come
out here and do a STEM day,

00:51.203 --> 00:52.850
being able to see all the jobs

00:52.850 --> 00:55.277
and the people that serve
our country and help us,

00:55.277 --> 00:57.305
it's just awesome to see.

00:57.305 --> 00:59.744
- Next year, Humphreys
Middle School plans to extend

00:59.744 --> 01:01.457
the STEM day to a STEM week,

01:01.457 --> 01:04.247
so the students can experience
STEM subjects in depth.

01:04.247 --> 01:07.380

Garrison Humphreys, South Korea,

01:07.380 --> 01:09.354
