Why is this event being held in Conover?

The Newton-Conover STEM Middle School is a leader in science, technology, engineering and math. A trebuchet is a piece of artillery from the Middle Ages, yet the physics applications have never changed. The City of Conover has become a national leader in developing a strong workforce because of such programs as this one. Additionally, Conover is a proud home to the Manufacturing Solutions Center, a program of Catawba Valley Community College. Companies worldwide use that facility to improve their products and develop new ones. Local entrepreneurs use it to launch new products and grow the local job market.

So this all fits together - STEM education, a strong manufacturing heritage, modern technology and job growth.
