STEM@thePark

STRICKLAND MS TALENT SEARCH STUDENTS toured UNT Discovery Park and learned all about their engineering programs. One of the engineering concepts they learned about was in circuitry. Students learned about how electrons flow through circuits and travel between positive and negative terminals of a power source, such as a battery. After learning about these concepts, students assembled functioning flashlights utilizing popsicle sticks, copper wire, a battery, and electrical tape attached to an LED light!

 

TALENT SEARCH MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS PRACTICING TO BE FUTURE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS

WISE HEALTH SURGICAL CENTER in Argyle offered our TS students the most fantastic career day! Medical professionals gave presentations and spoke with our students about their career fields.

We learned all about the healing powers of a hyperbaric chamber and robotic surgery! We explored various types of imaging. We even got to speak to one of the most skilled surgeons as she gave us a presentation of her surgical tools. The staff were so attentive and personable with our students. We love you so much, Wise Health Surgical Center! More pictures to come…

Broncos in the Spotlight

Talent Search staff have been working hard this summer providing Rising Senior Summer Bootcamps for Seniors 2023! We provided small group workshops with individualized attention to help students complete their summer college and financial aid tasks. Here are some highlights of what has been accomplished in June and July 2022. Please allow me to recognize seniors for being flexible, adaptable, and still very much willing to take time out of their summer to complete college prep items, all with location changes as needed due to DHS still being under construction.

  • Seniors signed up for a minimum of two bootcamps, each about 4 hours long, completing resumes, essays, writing requests for letter of recommendations etc.
  • ·Students created their Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID accounts to help them begin the process of applying for financial aid when the FAFSA opens in October 2022.
  • Students completed scholarship research, identifying a minimum of 5-7 scholarships ranging from local, regional, state and national.
  • ·Seniors completed or have begun one or more, 4-year college applications.
