🚀 Launching the Purdue 1 Indiana Essay Competition!
Purdue University invites Hoosier fifth graders to explore how they could use a favorite school subject, hobby or skill to help a space mission crew succeed. One winning essay will be chosen from each of Indiana's 92 counties, and every county winner receives a personalized Purdue 1 Indiana mission patch.
If mission conditions allow, winners' names will even travel to space aboard Purdue 1, the university's upcoming all-Boilermaker suborbital research spaceflight!
Submissions open today and run through Nov. 30. Learn more: bit.ly/4rMkXzZ

Plant tours are a key part of several of IN-MaC's programs, including our Pathways Systems. While #MfgDay26 is one of our favorite days of the year, we celebrate Manufacturing Day every day!
What does a manufacturing career actually look like? Plant tours give students a chance to see careers, learn how products are made and talk with the people doing the work.
@SaintGobainNA is helping create those opportunities as Platinum Event Sponsor of #MFGDay26
