LOCAL JUNIOR HIGH TEACHER SELECTED FOR A&M S.T.E.M. PROGRAM

  

Brenham Junior High School teacher Diana Kohring has been selected as one of twelve teachers to be a part of the 2018-2019 Connected STEM project at Texas A&M.

The program promotes STEM Education through Connected Devices and Building Automation Project.  Nearly 100 teachers applied to the project.

Kohring has been invited as a partner in the yearlong project, and will spend two weeks on the Texas A&M campus to receive targeted, one-on-one instruction from Texas A&M faculty and industry mentors.

This collaboration among Texas A&M University, Blinn College, and other community and industry partners will promote junior high and high school student interest, skills, knowledge, and career aspirations in engineering through authentic engineering design activities related to building automation.

This project uses a combination of junior high and high school teacher professional development, summer camps for students, and dual credit courses to promote interest and knowledge in STEM careers.
