Engineers work to solve the difficult problems that face our society. Whether it’s building a bridge to cross a river, creating a new machine to manufacture cars, or fitting a huge amount of technology into a smartphone, an engineer’s work can leave a lasting impact on society.

Explorers will be introduced to one of the standards used in engineering, called a design process.

This session helps Explorers understand the four forces of flight.

These sessions provide the participants with an introductory understanding of veterinary medicine outside the traditional perception of what a veterinarian normally does. Participants may have the opportunity to interact with numerous species of animals and unique animal health care situations.

This session introduces participants to the three phases of the design process—investigating, planning, and building.

Safety concerns are a greater issue when working around large animals than when handling companion animals. Serious injuries and even death may result. Though the use of patient restraint (physical, chemical, or both) is a paramount tool for the safety and welfare of both the animal and those working around the animal, it is still easy to be kicked, bitten, struck by the animal’s head and horns, or even run over and trampled by an animal that is bigger, stronger, and heavier than a human. Post Advisors and leaders must stress to participants the importance of being aware of the animal’s body language and always following the instructions of whomever is in charge of the animal.

This session will provide activities to help reinforce lessons and activities found in various other sessions. The suggestions presented in this session could be used in conjunction with another ongoing session or as a final review after all of the animal-related sessions have been completed.

This session provides participants with an introductory understanding of the diverse field of veterinary medicine and the various veterinary roles in this health care profession.

Explorers will be introduced to a range of career opportunities within the automotive repair industry.

In this session, participants will expand on their discussion of the activities in the Introductory: Power Plants session by exploring Newton’s Third Law.
