Hurst Junior High More than 20 students from Hurst Junior High traveled to Texas Health Resources in Arlington to participate in a day filled with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Hurst students participated in interactive learning opportunities covering everything from electrical analysis to food science technology. Mentors from many STEM fields took time to teach and to give practical advice on career choices, based on their real-world experience. Scientists, engineers, and doctors led breakout sessions on CPR and more. Coaches from the WNBA’s Dallas Wings taught about physical and mental conditioning through stretching exercises and a competitive game of “land, air, and sea.” The day concluded with a challenge: use the learning from this event as a catalyst for future growth, by continuing to seek out learning opportunities and strong mentors.
