Lyondell employees inject learning with fun

Lyondell’s Cincinnati Technology Center partnered with the parent-teacher organizations at Mason Heights, Mason Intermediate and Western Row schools for their fourth annual Mason Math and Science Night, providing some 500 students and their parents with an assigned reconnaissance mission. Employees led activities such as operation liquid nitrogen, dog tags, dry ice deployment, hovercraft training and night vision.

"We’ve heard lots of compliments from parents and students,” said Gail Headley, a parent and the event’s coordinator. “I’ve seen kids in the hallway wearing their shrinky dink fog tags and heard lots of kids talking about the hovercraft. Dozens of people are begging for another show from Lyondell. We can say with certainty that the event was a success."
