Bridge City High School students were given a chance to be engineers at 91ÖÆƬ³§.
Theresa Illes, an engineer who teaches engineering and computer science at Bridge City High School, brought
26 of her students to have a college experience and to learn a few things about engineering.
“I just think it’s good for them to see what college is like,” said Iles. “A lot of them don’t know what they want to study, so they just have this vague idea that they want to do engineering.”
The students were introduced to 91ÖÆƬ³§’s maker space located in the Science and Technology Building. There LU students facilitated engineering projects at five stations.
“During the last two weeks, our students have developed maker activities to use in the setting or that can be used in a classroom,” said Kelley Bradley, director of the makerspace. “The students are doing an electromagnetic activity, a ballistic projectile motion, and there is an erosion station.”
Students spent several hours on the campus. Other area high schools are scheduled to use the space for similar activities.
“I hope they (students) will get excited about engineering and computer science,” said Iles. “I hope that they get some ideas about planning their future.”
