On Tuesday, Meteorologist Alex O'Brien visited the 6th and 7th graders at Globe Charter School who are part of the student-run newscast.
Alex taught the students what it is like to be a meteorologist and her career in news. They also discussed severe weather events in Colorado, like blizzards, wildfires, and severe hail.
The students were great listeners and had a lot of fun with the hail experiment with the ping pong balls and hairdryer.
