PSIR will host its 2nd Annual Community S.T.E.M. Empowerment Conference and Town Hall at the UNT Dallas from 10AM - 2PM on Saturday, April 28. CSEC is a grassroots initiative devised to connect young people to educational opportunities that inspire them to develop the critical science, technology, engineering and math skills they need to become problem-solvers of tomorrow. The first CSEC featured a panel of S.T.E.M. professionals from Texas Instruments, Rockwell Collins, UTD and Cisco/VCE to discuss how their educational backgrounds play a pivotal role in their careers today. The workshops were key in helping students connect S.T.E.M. to the world around them. Don't miss this opportunity to delve into how S.T.E.M. affects our community and how to prepare our kids to be the next generation of leaders!
