The tens of thousands expected to attend will ride the event’s newest attraction – the Nissan Leaf ‘Ride and Drive Course’ – while listening to a live performance by singer and songwriter Alyssa Bagley, a rising country music star who has opened for Clay Walker, Josh Turner, Dirks Bentley, Gary Allen, and Big and Rich and will be opening for Willie Nelson in November 2015. Other must-see attractions for visitors include performing “petrochemical magic tricks” with Lynn Hogue of Terrific Science – like making slime and Shrinky Dinks out of petrochemicals – and seeing Subsea Tieback Foundation's SEATIGER, a trailer- mounted tank and mini-Remote Operating Vehicle (ROV) that provides an opportunity for students to experience hands on mini-ROV technology. In all, more than 100 interactive exhibits and scientific demonstrations showing on-going advancements and innovations in America’s fast-growing energy sector will be on hand. Houston’s annual Energy Day Festival helps spark students’ interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) – the basic classroom skills the nation needs in order to continue its record-breaking energy revolution and the affordable, reliable energy it has supplied to millions of American families, farms, factories, and small businesses in recent years. “Energy Day is not only a fun, cost-free way for families to spend a beautiful Saturday afternoon, but it also helps students get interested in the types of classroom studies that will later lead to high-rewarding careers, especially as our country’s energy sector continues to experience unprecedented growth,” CEA President David Holt says. “All exhibitors and demonstrations are very hands-on. Energy Day gives kids and their parents experiences they can’t find every day. Experiments they can see and touch, technology they can use to explore and understand the world a little better. As the Energy Capital of the world, there’s no better way to celebrate Houston than joining us at Energy Day!” ...
