At DMC, our employees are not only dedicated to their professional projects but also bringing their personal passions into the workplace. One such example is how engineers have combined their love for LEGO, their work on the NASA BOLE (Booster Obsolescence and Life Extension), and the benefit of each office’s Monthly Activity Fund to create a unique and inspiring company culture.
The LEGO Enthusiasts
LEGO bricks are more than just toys; they are tools for creativity, problem-solving, and team building. Many DMC employees have been avid LEGO builders since childhood, and this passion has only grown in both the skill necessary to complete the project, and the price of the sets involved. The intricate designs and endless possibilities that LEGO offers align perfectly with the skills and temperament required for engineering and project management.
The NASA BOLE Project
Just like LEGO’s, many DMC employees have followed NASA’s space program since childhood and were thrilled to work with NASA. The NASA BOLE project is a critical initiative aimed at extending the life of the Space Launch System (SLS) boosters. This project requires cutting-edge engineering, meticulous planning, and innovative problem-solving. DMC employees working on BOLE are at the forefront of aerospace technology, ensuring that NASA’s missions continue to reach new heights. Learn more about DMC's work on the NASA BOLE project.
The Monthly Activity Fund
DMC’s monthly activity fund is designed to promote employee team building. Employees can use this fund to organize activities that bring them joy and foster connections with their colleagues. A few examples of Monthly Activity Nights include sports events, Top Golf games, and cooking classes. However, a perennial favorite of DMC employees is LEGO night!
Our LEGO enthusiasts have creatively utilized the monthly activity fund to support their passion. They have organized LEGO-building workshops, competitions, and even collaborative projects where employees work together to build large-scale models. These activities have not only been fun but have also strengthened teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
A Unique Synergy
The combination of LEGO building, the NASA BOLE project, and the monthly activity funds for the St. Louis and Seattle offices have created a unique synergy at DMC. Employees are encouraged to bring their whole selves to work, blending their personal interests with their professional responsibilities.
At DMC, we believe that fostering a culture where employees can pursue their passions alongside their professional goals leads to a more engaged, motivated, and innovative workforce. The combination of LEGO, the NASA BOLE project, and the monthly activity fund is just one example of how we are building dreams, one day or brick at a time.
