Marble Falls High School and Falls Career High School students got a peek at the technological future of the military when the U.S. Army’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Experience Bus stopped on campus, Monday, Jan. 11.
“We want students to see there’s more to the Army than infantry combat,” said Michael Stribling, Sgt. 1st Class, U.S. Army. “They’re getting a look at the future of technology we’re developing.”
After Stribling’s introduction, students boarded the tractor-trailer into a high-tech world of Army technology. Students started in the “situation room,” where they viewed news coverage of a terrorist attack in Europe in 2032. In the next room they learned about the capabilities of two futuristic robots.
