Our Impact
Below is a list of previous outreach events during which our team has engaged with many STEM educators from across the state of Texas.
-
The University of Texas at Austin, Houston, and Galveston
Petroleum Science and Technology Institute* 2022
July 18–22, 2022
The University of Texas at Austin’s Petroleum Science and Technology Institute (PSTI*) introduces STEM high school teachers to the latest technological innovations in the Texas energy industry, with specific applications in the areas of subsurface engineering and geology. Teachers visited the Houston Museum of Natural Science and the Weiss Energy Hall to learn more about the energy industry. The final day of the institute includes visiting the Ocean Star Museum in Galveston, Texas, to learn more about offshore production.

The University of Texas at Austin (Virtual)
Petroleum Science and Technology Institute* 2021
July 19–23, 2021
During the pandemic, PSTI was delivered virtually over Zoom. During the 5-day workshop, teachers engaged with department faculty to participate in presentations and hands-on activities to learn more about the engineering and technology involved in locating and extracting oil and gas. Teachers received lab materials so that they could actively participate in the hands-on activities.
