Hundreds of local youngsters were delighted by the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) hands-on activity at the Colorado River State Historic Park’s Exploration Station event at Colorado River State Historic Park on September 18, 2026. YPG is Yuma County’s premier scientific and technical workplace and has had a presence at the park’s annual outreach event since its inception. Participation in the event is part of the proving ground’s outreach efforts to encourage local youngsters to pursue STEM careers in hopes they eventually become members of the workforce. YPG tests virtually everything in the ground combat arsenal, a mission that requires many highly trained engineers and math-savvy support personnel to ensure a Soldier’s equipment works exactly as it is supposed to.
