BISD Students Go Fishing For STEM Success
How does a whiffle ball lead to a career in engineering? In Huntsville, Texas, aspiring engineers faced a design challenge created by engineers from ConocoPhillips. Based on real-life situations in which wellbores are blocked by material known as “fish,” the challenge was part of the 34th annual State STEM Competition, sponsored by ConocoPhillips and held at the Forest Glen Camp in Huntsville. Students used paper clips, clay, and other materials to explore methods for removing wellbore blockages.
The following BISD students placed in the competition:
Haltom High School
Anthony Nguyen – 3rd Place in 11th Grade Science
Elaine Zhu – 2nd Place Engineering Design Challenge
Lizbeth Martinez – TBPE Innovation Award Engineering Design Challenge
Yasmin Torres – 6th Place Engineering Design Challenge
