March 4, 2020
Guests/Topics:
Beth Demke, Bismarck Gateway Science Center, discusses a $250K donation from Hess Corporation. Demke details how $200K will help develop and sponsor an oil and gas exhibit in the “Transforming Energy” section of the new science center gallery in the new building Gateway to Science under construction.
The remainder of the resources will be used for their mobile STEM display which brings STEM to rural communities.
Demke shares several stories from her 20-plus years of experience of working at the Bismarck Gateway Science Center and seeing children grow up engaging with energy at the science center.
The lost connection with energy is also discussed. In the same vein in agriculture how the farmer’s became replaced by supermarkets in the eyes of the public, the light switch is replacing energy companies.
Joel Brown, MineralTracker.com, tells the story of sweeping floors for his grandfather’s oilfield service company at the age of 13, to being one of University of North Dakota’s first petroleum engineering students to moving back to Watford City and starting MineralTracker.

The Hawker Pipe Handler was developed to simplify the well servicing process. By reducing the need for manual labor the Hawker Pipe Handler improves production times and reduces overall well servicing costs in a safer working environment.
The Hawker reduces the need for manual labor when lifting the pipe to and removing from the service rig. By using our Pipe Handler it greatly reduces the chance of back injuries and workman’s comp claims for the company. Its speed and efficiency is designed to improve production times and reduce costs. The Hawker is simple to move from site to site. When you pull on to a job site the Hawker can be set-up and ready to go within minutes! www.hawkerwellworks.com
