Making magnetic connections 🧲

Members of our Engineering, Sales, and Scheduling teams recently had the opportunity to spend time with students at a local middle school—and it was a blast!

From sharing what we do to answering great questions, our team loved connecting with these future innovators. The highlight? Rolling up our sleeves and diving into some hands-on fun by making magnetic slime together!

Fun fact: Magnetic slime moves and stretches when it's near a magnet because it contains tiny iron particles—so it can actually “crawl” toward the magnet like it’s alive!

Moments like these spark curiosity, inspire creativity, and show just how exciting STEM can be.
