WVIZ: Career Exploration DAYGLO COLOR CORP Grades 7-12 Cost: FREE
Location: WVIZ
Description: Fluorescent products to help make the world a “brighter” place
In the 1930's, Bob and Joe Switzer experimented with ways of combining fluorescent dyes and resins that produced colors far brighter than normal and that had the unique effect of "glowing" under ultraviolet or black light. Where a clean, bright conventional color is able to reflect a maximum of 90% of a color present in the spectrum; a fluorescent color can reflect as much as 200% to 300%.
Initially, these new colors and effects found their way into magic shows, stage shows, and movie promotion posters. As the chemistry and manufacturing process improved, the areas of application expanded. Advertising, safety and promotional firms began to recognize the uniqueness of these bright colors and Day-Glo grew.
Today’s Day-Glo
Day-Glo Color Corporation is the world’s largest manufacturer of daylight fluorescent pigments, offset printing inks and bases, screen inks, paints and allied fluorescent products. Day-Glo also produces and distributes non-fluorescent conventional pigment dispersions, as well as fluorescent and non-fluorescent dyes, tracers and phosphorescent pigments.

DURHAM MUSEUM: Building of the Transcontinental Railroad Grades 4-8 FREE Program One day, in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln sitting at his desk in the White House in Washington DC , signed a document that fixed the eastern terminus of the proposed rail route at Omaha, Nebraska Territory. Within a short time dirt was flying in Nebraska and California.
Thousands of workers, large numbers of teams, many supply trains, and vast quantities of equipment and supplies were employed in caring this stupendous project forward. Each month the gap between the two construction forces became shorter, and finally , on May 10 1869, after six years of strenuous effort, the rails were joined at Promontory, on the Utah desert.
This endeavor was the 1800's equivalent to the United States putting a man on the moon 100 years later.
