CNDE participated in this year’s 2025 State Science & Technology Fair of Iowa on March 27 and 28. This two-day fair, organized by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, was for students in grades 6 – 12 and provided a space to showcase their research projects. Students also got the chance to meet with professionals in all areas of science and technology.
CNDE welcomed 36 students to visit our labs and meet with our researchers. The tour topics included Ultrasonics, Microwave, Eddy Current, and X-ray Radiography. This was a great opportunity to introduce students to NDE at a young age.
CNDE also sponsored several cash prize awards for top NDE-related research projects. Two NDE Minor students graciously volunteered their time to judge these projects and accompany fair students on the CNDE tour.
