The Texas State Aquarium’s Leslie Peart, Vice President for Education and Conservation, and Suraida Nañez-James, Manager for Distance Learning and Outreach, will share some exciting highlights of the Flint Hills Resources Center for Excellence in STEM Education.

The Center brings together best practices and innovation from the fields of education, research and industry to advance STEM education in south Texas and beyond.  One way the Center is bringing once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunities to students is through LIVE distance learning programs from around the world.  The latest event took students on a virtual journey to the middle of the Pacific Ocean where they experienced life at sea and watched as scientists explored the World’s Largest Volcano aboard the research vessel Falkor.

What a fantastic Thursday meeting we just wrapped up! Our agenda was full, just the way we like it!
