“Their mission is brought to life through the cornerstones of their four core initiatives, including: STEM Proficiency, Early Learning, Healthy Living and Environmental Stewardship,” said a Discovery Cube announcement. “This exhibit lets families become more familiar with the role natural gas plays in their everyday lives, and the importance of using gas in a safe and environmentally friendly way.”

Some of the demonstrations are designed to give families the chance to learn about natural gas safety and how energy conservation can address air pollution and to combat climate change, according to officials.

“The Inspector Training Course exhibit is a technologically groundbreaking scavenger hunt that teaches kids and parents about energy conservation and sustainability in their own homes,” officials said. “Visitors are outfitted with tablets and go on immersive quests with the opportunity to learn about: gas safety, energy efficiency, energy conservation and how gas, electricity and renewable energy work together.”

About Louie Diaz

Louie was born and raised in Santa Clarita. At the age of two Louie lost his vision due to a brain tumor. However, Louie doesn't let blindness stop him from doing what ever it is he wants to accomplish. Growing up some of his favorite hobbies were wood working, fishing and riding bikes. Louie graduated from College of the Canyon in December of 2017, with a Broadcast Journalism degree. Growing up Louie has always wanted to be a fire fighter or a police officer, but because of his blindness Louie knew that wouldn't work. Louie has always loved listening to police and fire radio traffic, using a scanner, and he figured if he was going to listen to the scanner so much, he should do something with it.
