This fall, we’re involved in a great program in partnership with Bixby High School. The program lets Bixby high school students shadow TEA engineers to get a better understanding of day to day engineering practices and applications in the industry.
TEA volunteer professionals are meeting with students this whole year for a few hours each Wednesday to help them get a taste of what it’s like to be a design engineer. The program was created to give students experience within the technical and engineering fields, plus surround them with positive role models to help encourage pursuit of their life goals.
We’re thrilled we can be involved in such a meaningful program and make a difference in these students’ lives. The students are getting to see firsthand how the skills they learn in school can prepare them for the real world.
We believe we are really sowing the seeds of leadership here and exposing kids to incredible opportunities for their lives. We are very proud to give them an up-close look of the engineering profession they’re considering while also nurturing the passion to discover the possibilities for their future.
