Students from Thomas Metcalf School recently put their science skills to the test at the State Farm® Technology Research and Innovation Laboratory in Bloomington, IL. They faced the challenge of determining whether their student-built roofs could withstand the State Farm Hail Simulator, a machine designed to replicate the impact of hail. Doug Dewey, Senior Research Analyst at State Farm, expressed his gratitude for working with the students and commended their passion for physics and science.Laurel Straub, Assistant Vice President of Enterprise Research at State Farm,.
