High School Students Visit Hess Booth

High school students visited our booth at the 23rd World Petroleum Congress to learn how we use STEM and what a future career in the oil and gas industry could look like. A group from the Pasadena Independent School District had the opportunity to see augmented reality (AR) in action through a live hook-up with field workers in North Dakota and had a hands-on experience operating Spot the robotic Dog, which was fresh from a deployment on an offshore platform in the Gulf of Mexico.
