<\/p>\n

How does a whiffle ball lead to a career in engineering? In Huntsville, Texas, aspiring engineers faced a design challenge created by engineers from ConocoPhillips. Based on real-life situations in which wellbores are blocked by material known as \u201cfish,\u201d the challenge was part of the 34th annual State STEM Competition, sponsored by ConocoPhillips and held at the Forest Glen Camp in Huntsville. Students used paper clips, clay, and other materials to explore methods for removing wellbore blockages.<\/p>\n
