Lick Creek hosts IDOT engineers

Junior high students in teacher Heather Coffman’s science classes at Lick Creek School recently hosted engineers from the Illinois Department of Transportation.

The engineers brought items with them for a hands-on STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) presentation.

One group worked on issues related to tower stability. Another group worked on the load stability of bridges.
