10 mins or so ago in the Salt lake Valley there was a hugh explosion it echoed for a moment, just wondered if anyone in SLC heard it?

The Upper School competitive robotics team recently taught a Girls in Science lab at the Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point. Students are dedicated to helping build the next generation of robotics enthusiasts, as well as to closing the gender gap in STEM-related fields.
