Sheldon Middle School 7th & 8th Graders Explore Careers
Chris Carson of Scissortail Energy Partners in Tulsa, OK joined us via Zoom to share insights into careers in the oil drilling industry and geology-related fields. His work is very different from what we see locally, making it exciting to learn how his projects operate. Chris is also related to our own Ryan Cannoy—thanks for making the connection!
