Partnering on Carver Project

To encourage more students, especially minorities, to enter the field of science, BWXT Y‑12 was one of the sponsors of the George Washington Carver Project, which honors Carver's scientific and social contributions.

Students from Austin-East Performing Arts and Sciences Magnet High School, Beaumont Honors Magnet Academy and the Episcopal School of Knoxville worked with Knoxville television personality Bill Landry to create an interdisciplinary program, including a video. The video is being given to about 1600 Tennessee schools.

Carver dedicated his work to improving life for Americans, and his scientific applications helped feed hungry populations worldwide.
