Thanks to @SAPsv for the opportunity to volunteer and participate in the Sharks Foundation Field Trip Days at The Tech Museum in San Jose on Friday, March 4. It was a privilege to be part of a program that provides low-income students and the community access to sports-themed Science, Technology, Engineering and Math design challenge learning activities. They were able to learn about cyber security in Cyber Detectives, wearable technology in Body Metrics, the engineering design process in Innovations in Health Care and how to creatively solve problems using technology in The Tech Studio.
It was fun to work with the kids to build structures with poles and rubber bands, build things that fly, and be fascinated by the concept of cyber security and how to prevent cyber attacks. Not to mention being able to sport my new SAP hockey jersey!
This program supports SAP’s commitment to involving young students in STEM education. It is incredible that @SAPsv brings employees opportunities like this to engage with local students and show them how fun it is to learn about math and science. Plus, seeing some of the top San Jose Sharks players such as Paul Martin and Chris Tierney was a special treat.
Great fun to be had by all at The Tech Museum. Certainly priming the pump for the young students to get excited about math and science to put them on a path to a successful career ahead!
It’s awesome that @SAPsv brings employees opportunities like this to give us the opportunity to engage with local sports teams and share our passions with other @SAPsv employees!
