Jack Moreland (CIVS Senior Research Scientist) showcased the crane simulator. NLMK family members learned about crane controls and got to operate a virtual overhead crane. The event was attended by around 500 NLMK family members. Attendees toured the mill and enjoyed food and activities on site. NLMK is a member company of the SMSVC.

Many of the children, spouses and even employees took a turn on the crane simulator, and all were vocal about how fun the experience was.
