STEM Matters NYC Career Day

Session One: Tourneau

For the stem career day, I went to two sessions, Tourneau and NYC Department of Environmental Protection. Tourneau is a famous watch company. We got to see how the watches are made from the outside and the inside. They use machines to wash the equipment's and then, later start repairing them. After repairing them, they shine the watches so, when their customers get it back, it looks brand new. It was a fun experience because I got to see step by step how a watch is made. I never knew it had so many challenging steps.

The red box is used to hear the ticking of a watch also, the "heart" beat of it.

The machines they use to wash the equipment's before actually building a watch .

Tourneau update their machines. The small black one on the top is the oldest where you have to clean the equipment by yourself. The blue ones cleans by itself however, the big grey one is the newest.

They clean the watches using these machines, they get hot very easily. After rubbing a watch on top of the spinning wheel, it will look brand new.

This is the office where they make sure the equipment is organized and you can see the view of the workers in the back.

                                   Session Two: NYC Department of Environmental Protection 

NYC Department of Environmental Protection is a company that supplys water to New Yorkers. The DEP employees have different jobs to look after the water supply such as checking the wastewater treatment, harbor water quality, etc. It was a fun experience because I did't knew how hard they work to make sure we get healthy clean water to use. My overall career day experience was so much fun because I got introduced to fields I did't knew would interest me. Thank you so much, Ms. Ramirez for giving me a great opportunity to go to and experience the
different fields.

   

This is in the entrance of their building, it was switched off but water usually flowed there.

We got introduced to the different fields in environmental science and how they worked to make sure the water supply was safe to use. They did many projects to make New York is an environmental place and think of new ideas to improve their system.
