Twenty students from Memorial and Northbrook high schools joined their instructors Sept. 29 for the Houston Community College Chancellor’s “Symposium on Engineering” held at the Johnson Space Center. During the weekend event, students were given the opportunity to listen to NASA engineers currently working on the new Orion spacecraft and new Mars rover, which is called Curiosity.
Students also got the chance to talk with representatives from local colleges and universities about engineering and engineering technology programs. Memorial High’s Shelly “Monty” Tornquist leads the Academy of Engineering program, a designated Project Lead The Way School.
At Northbrook High, John Hansen, Ed.D., directs that high school’s Academy of Engineering program. Students attending the program included the following:
