RUSMP was awarded a Texas Teacher Externship Program Grant from the University of Texas at Austin. Through this grant, mathematics and science teachers from targeted schools will spend 40 hours this summer interacting with Bluware Inc. computer scientists as they develop software for the oil and gas industry. By interacting with these professionals, participating teachers will develop a deeper understanding of the skills and dispositions necessary for success in STEM fields. They will share their experiences at the RUSMP 2018 Fall Networking Conference.
