Curiosity Unleashed: A Journey into STEM with Arclin Amines

Recording this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustlers from The Clay Center today, I find myself surrounded by 180 curious third graders, their eyes wide with wonder as they dive headfirst into the world of science and chemistry. Brad Bolduc, representing a science materials business, Arclin Amines, shares their recent acquisition of Bell Chemical Company, emphasizing their dedication to inspiring the next generation of scientists.

I also speak with Heather Henson, a senior chemist at Arclin Amines, who passionately engages with kids in STEM programs. She recounts a recent experiment at Riverside Library, where students' innovative questions led to an unexpected discovery, highlighting the boundless potential of young minds.

In this vibrant atmosphere, I witness the magic of learning unfold, as children's inquiries spark real-time experiments and ignite a passion for discovery. As the event concludes, I'm left inspired by the energy and creativity of these future scientists, reminded that curiosity knows no bounds. Today, I've seen the future of science, and it's brilliantly bright.
