SheBuildsHouston Event
On Thursday, April 3rd, a group of Energy junior and senior students had the opportunity to attend the #SheBuildsHouston event held at Delmar Stadium. Our students were able to listen to a panel of women that have careers in the construction industry, learn about different heavy equipment and power tools that are used, and they also had a chance to find out more about job opportunities within the industry.

Cohort 1 Update
After a wonderful exhibition and closure of their PBL 2, students had the opportunity to start a new project: Space City!
With this PBL, students go through the process of getting a new team, interacting with a new group, and preparing for the material they will be learning during this last project of the school year.
Students had different activities to build strong relationships with their new group, and this will suit them for a strong start on this PBL.

Principles of Manufacturing Update
This week, Principles of Manufacturing students walked to Lockhart Elementary to give the students their hand-crafted design. Energy students were given drawings of mythological creatures from their 4th and 5th grade “clients”. POM students were tasked with bringing their artwork to life and creating a toy figurine based on the character and a Pokémon-style playing card to describe the character’s strengths and weaknesses. After wrapping up our project, students presented their CAD Fusion designs and received their 3D printed products. The elementary students were thrilled as our projects with Lockhart’s students continue evolving and advancing.

Juan at the National Wildlife Federation Showcase
I have made a solar panel presentation for the purpose of showing the ease it is to be able to set up their own solar panel system in case of an emergency power outage. The presentation showcases each individual part of the solar panel in depth with a memorable presentation style. As well as showcase what opportunities are at EIHS, such as finding internships or becoming certified in multiple CAD software.

This certification qualifies students as Solidworks Associates who are experts in sustainable development, including principles of sustainable companies, assessing products for their level of sustainability, and sustainable marketing strategies. Although 63 students in the cohort are now certified, more are planning to use the final certification opportunity on 4/25 to earn the certificate. Congratulations to these outstanding students!

Young Women's Energized Class of 2025
For twenty-three years, the Women’s Energy Network of Houston (WENH) outreach program, Young Women Energized (YWE), has empowered young women to pursue degrees and careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Our dynamic programs inspire high school young women and support their ambitions, highlighting the transformative benefits of studying STEM and entering the energy industry. Each year, YWE awards a one-time STEM scholarship to deserving young women. These scholarship recipients, who hail from diverse social and economic backgrounds, receive the affirmation and opportunities needed to “Reimagine the Possible with Confidence,” positioning them to earn their STEM degrees and change not only their lives but also the communities they inhabit.
Sisterhood, mentorship, diversity, and inclusion are our guiding principles at YWE. We take great pride in watching our scholarship winners return as keynote speakers and mentors, uplifting the next generation of young women. YWE is dedicated to “Paying It Forward” for female empowerment and raising awareness about career opportunities in the energy industry and STEM.
The award-winning YWE STEM Outreach Conference equips students, parents, and educators with the tools for college and career planning through mentoring circles, interactive sessions, and inspiring stories from young STEM advocates and recent scholarship winners.
SAVE THE DATES: Join us in realizing our 23rd Anniversary goal by promoting, sharing, and motivating students to participate in these impactful programs:
· Over 500 students attending the YWE STEM Outreach Conference, to be held in person on Saturday, TBD, at TBD.
· Over 500 female students graduating in 2025, applying for the YWE STEM scholarships.
The scholarship application is now open, with a deadline of Saturday, September 27, 2025 (subject to change).
