| ECS Florida, LLC | ECS will be presenting a “Concrete Cookies” Learning Lab that is a general discussion on concrete, concrete mixing, concrete testing, and concrete failures. The students will learn that concrete is made from Aggregate/Sand, Portland Cement, and Water/Admixtures via PowerPoint presentation and speaker. The students will then break into groups to whip up “concrete” cookies with graham cracker crumbs (Aggregate / Sand), powdered sugar (Portland Cement) and a liquid mixture of orange juice concentrate, corn syrup, and gray food coloring (Water / Admixtures). The end result is an edible concrete cookie. Poor mixing of ingredients may result in a cookie being too wet or too dry. After the cookie is made we return to the PowerPoint to discuss potential career paths at ECS with and without a college degree. We discuss details on titles, salary and growth potential. The focus is for our Construction Materials Testing Department. The learning lab is generally 15 minutes and the last 5 minutes we take questions and show samples or actual concrete. |
