Birdville ISD graduate leads Texas Woman’s University undergraduate kinesiology team to overall first-place finish in NASA-sponsored statewide design competition

Erin Rocha, a proud Birdville ISD graduate and current senior at Texas Woman’s University (TWU), served as the team lead for the University’s undergraduate kinesiology team (“Team Pleiades”) representing TWU’s School of Health Promotion and Kinesiology in NASA’s TSGC Design Challenge. Through the TSGC Design Challenge, students have an opportunity to identify a research objective of importance to NASA and develop a solution for it.

Of the 19 college teams that participated in the competition, Team Pleiades, represented by Erin and four of her fellow TWU seniors, was the only all-female team and the only team representing a kinesiology school in the two-day competition. In addition to winning first-place overall, Team Pleiades also took first place in peer review and presentation and second place in the poster/best model category.

Solar Eclipse: Transportation Update

As we prepare for the total eclipse on Monday, April 8, Birdville ISD wants to remind parents of the anticipated increase in visitors to the metroplex to witness this event.

As a result, we expect heavier than usual traffic in and around the District. Please plan accordingly and allow extra time for travel to and from school to ensure the safe drop-off and pick-up of your children.

For students who ride the bus, we appreciate your patience as our bus drivers navigate potential delays due to increased traffic. On Monday afternoon, campus staff will provide students the opportunity to use restroom facilities before boarding the bus, prioritizing their safety and comfort during the ride home.
