Our students also assist the Texas Academy and 91自拍论坛 by serving on panels at our Preview Days, providing tours, working at engineering events, grading essays, being team leads at Texas Governor's Summer Merit Program and much more!
We encourage community service and volunteering not only because it is a great resume builder, but also so that students can learn how to get involved and be leaders within the community.
D - STEM Program
The D-STEM Program introduces local high school students to the Engineering Design Process and encourages their exploration of engineering concepts in a fun and interactive way. Student's do this by hosting a 4-day, after school mini-STEM Camp run by the Texas Academy STEM Club Volunteers.
In the pilot program that ran early November of 2023, local high school students competed to design, build, and test packaging to protect a single pringles chip from a variety of durability tests.
Program Founder: Rubin Rao, Class of 2024
