GATE goes to Kappler

On March 20th, the 5th grade GATE students went on a field trip to tour Kappler in Guntersville. Kappler is a company that designs and produces protective garments for companies around the world. While touring the facility and research/development lab, students talked with and learned from professionals from many careers fields: a research scientist with a background in cell and molecular biology, a chemical engineer, a mechanical engineer with an aerospace background, a project development engineer and a industrial engineer. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Kappler and are so thankful they welcomed us!
