Mouser Electronics Funds Educational Grants to Empower Future Engineers

May 16, 2018 - Mouser Electronics, Inc., the New Product Introduction leader empowering innovation, is supporting local teachers with technology grants to enhance science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education for students in Mansfield, Texas.

Each semester, Mouser contributes to the Mansfield Independent School District (MISD) Education Foundation by funding grants for teachers to provide engaging opportunities for students. Previous Mouser-funded grants have supported expanding makerspaces in Mansfield high school libraries and providing robotics kits to help students develop essential skills.  

This year, the MISD Education Foundation is providing the Speed Between the Lines: Coding Drones through Obstacles for the Future grant to fund exciting educational programs at the Jerry Knight STEM Academy. Students at the academy experience hands-on learning with drone technology, exploring concepts related to electronic circuitry, coding, programming and aeronautical engineering. Mouser awarded the unique CoDrone grant to five teachers at the state-of-the-art STEM academy. To view a video on the project, go to youtu.be/8c7beXpw7yw.

"At the Jerry Knight STEM Academy, we prepare students to be more than participants in technological change, encouraging them to be innovators," says Victoria Webster, Associate Principal at the Jerry Knight STEM Academy. "We believe students need constant exposure to the most cutting-edge technologies paired with an understanding of how they can use these technologies within their communities and society at large."

"Since our founding, Mouser Electronics has demonstrated a deep commitment to improving education at every level," said Kevin Hess, Mouser's Senior Vice President of Marketing. "We realize that many of today's students will someday have careers using technologies not yet created, and we need to prepare them for whatever the future may hold. We are happy to help foster a new generation of engineers in our own community."

"Mouser Electronics has long been a shining example of what forward-thinking businesses and institutions can do to ensure our students will be prepared for the future," said Linda Bacsik, Executive Director of the MISD Education Foundation. "We are grateful to Mouser Electronics for once again helping to foster a higher level of education in our schools."

Mouser's commitment to education runs deep. For many years, it has been a major sponsor of FIRST^® Robotics at the local, state and international levels by supporting the robot-building competitions and local teams. Mouser also is a proud sponsor of the Shine Runners Racing Company from Mansfield's Ben Barber Innovation Academy, a student group that builds and races solar-powered cars.
