The workshop's goal is to use Micron's campus, workstations,
products, programs
and more as a valuable learning laboratory. As a semiconductor manufacturer, Micron is a pioneer
in
water recycling and currently recycles a large portion of water
used each day for production at its
Boise, Idaho facility.

Gondola Cars
The Colorado Historical Society
has acquired a number of historic
gondolas, which are a type of freight car used to transport bulk
cargo
including rock, ore, coal and scrap metal. This series of open freight cars were originally
built to haul coal and continued in this service for 64 years. The park
includes nearly 1,000
acres, 12 buildings and four railway bridges,
including the nearly 100-foot-high Devil's Gate bridge
over Clear
Creek and the railroad.engineer photograph
According to Alecia Baker, Micron's K-12 Program Manager, teachers
will be provided with hands-on activities that bring work science and
math applications to life
in a way that they can then incorporate into
their classroom curriculum. "One
of the best ways
to start the preparation is by investing in our
Chemistry, Math, Physics and Physical Science teachers
