 This year I was given the opportunity to attend the 42nd Annual NSBE,
National Society of Black Engineers,
Convention in Boston. One of the most important goals of this program is to encourage minorities to attend top colleges and increase diversity in the engineering industry. At the conference I was able to network with business men and women and college representatives in the engineering industry. There was a career fair that featured some large companies such as NASA, Google, Lockheed Martin, Nvidia, and the Marine Corp, as well as commended colleges like Carnegie-Mellon, Princeton, Georgia Tech, and Texas A&M. I also spent time with like minded high school students who aspire to attend their most fitting college and be successful in the engineering industry. There were almost 100 different workshops that I had the choice to participate in with topics ranging from environmental sustainability to properly advocating yourself using social media. Specifically for high school students, there are competitions that appeal to creativity, teamwork and leadership, and applying what we know about engineering to real world situations, much like our projects here at Energy. The conference concluded with the Golden Torch Awards, which recognizes engineers and other business people who positively impact the industry and the world. The conference as a whole was a wonderful experience for me that I hope more of Energy's students will be able to take part in by attedning next year's NSBE Convention in Kansas City!

If I were to describe the Oklahoma City Regional in one sentence, I would call it the most stressful and most exciting event all year! When we left for Oklahoma, I was excited for a school vacation with free food and friends. Little did I know I was in for a weekend of stress, pressure, but most of all, fun. Throughout the week, we were welcomed to an amazing community of helpful teams from around Oklahoma. During the tournament, we played in 12 games where we faced off in alliances (3 teams per group) in a set of challenges competing for points. The team endured strenuous competition conditions, solving different challenges along the way. We finished competition days relaxing with team dinners and some team time by the pool! When we left the competition to come home, we were a new team, experienced and ready for the next challenge. Now that we are back, we are practicing for the next Regional in Houston, and I encourage those who want an exciting challenge to join robotics next year.

| National Science Teachers Association |
This past week, our science department attended the annual National Science Teacher Convention in Nashville, Tennessee. Our teachers not only participated in incredible professional development sessions, but presented their work as well! Ms. Julie Lockhart, chemistry teacher at Energy, presented a workshop on project based learning. The session was packed, standing room only, highlighting project based learning in the chemistry classroom and some of the lessons learned from her two years in teaching chemistry classes through this model of instruction. Great job Ms. Lockhart!

Discover U Student Spotlight
Congratulations to Energy junior, Timothy Chung on his acceptance into the highly selective Bank of America Student Leader Program. Out of hundreds of applications, Timothy was one of twenty Houston area students selected for an interview. This week he learned of his acceptance into the 8 week program which culminates in Washington, D.C. with a week long Student Leadership Summit. During the eight week paid internship, Timothy will work with a local non-profit organization identified by Bank of America.
This will be Timothy second summer program. Last summer he participated in Youth About Business and spent over a week in New York City.
Timothy was the first student at Energy to set up his DiscoverU account after being introduced to the organization through Emerge. If you have questions about the application process, interviews, or specific programs, Timothy is a great resource to take advantage of. Congratulations Timothy! We know you will have a wonderful experience with Bank of America this summer!
