Bring Your Kid to Work Day: Raising the Next Generation of Scientists and Engineers

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Far East District scientists in the Geotechnical and Environmental Engineering Branch provide tours of the Materials Testing Labs during “Bring Your Kid to Work Day” March 26, 2026, at Camp Humphreys, South Korea. The children were given a prompt to determine the particle-size of difference between playground sand and garden mud based on the American Society for Testing and Materials D422, a standard test method to analyze and determine particle-size distribution in soils. The key concept is to understand soil is mixed with many things. (U.S. Army photo by Rachel Napolitan)
