UMD Hosts a Science Equipment Giveaway

UMD Science Department Gives Away Cockroaches, Flasks and More

Educators from the Twin Ports and beyond got a little boost today that might help them in the classroom this school year.

They got to look through science equipment at UMD and claim some items they want.  The equipment is older and will no longer be used at the college.

Unlike most rummage sales, it required an educator ID to get in.

The equipment was given away on a first come, first serve basis.

Charity Rupp, the Outreach Coordinator for the College of Science, said “Science and technology is such a big component in careers right now and we are in need of scientists and engineers.”

This event happens once every few years and they had up to 100 people come through looking for new equipment.
