Professional development workshops and presentations for educators can be customized to meet your district’s needs. Dr. Betsy Willis relates TEKS/TAKS standards to engineering, making the required knowledge and skills relevant to everyday life. Educators gain strategies for reinforcing math, science, and technology TEKS with students.
Presentations include:
Outfitting Girls for Engineering Engineering needs more women! 80% of all purchases are made by women, but only 10% of working engineers are women…shocking to think that product creators are not product purchasers. Learn about the unique opportunities in engineering, how to interest girls in engineering, and preparation for college engineering programs.
When Will I Ever Use This? Sound familiar? Discover how engineers use math and science to improve the quality of life. Learn how to relate math and science concepts to students’ everyday lives – matrices and movie, sine waves and music, chemistry and food, and much more!
Algebra I and Calculus – the difference is $80,000 per year Advanced math leads to higher paying careers, and the difference in pay can be as high as $80,000 per year! Over a lifetime of working, that amounts to at least $3.2 million! Give students incentive to pursue advanced math so that they can earn the extra millions.
