In addition to being a generous donor and event sponsor, the FLUOR Corporation has partnered with the Education Foundation to bring mobile STEM labs and a traveling museum on African American pioneers in STEAM to FBISD schools. The corporation also funded the African American Inventors eBook Collection grant to help expand FBISD’s eBook collection to include approximately 500 new titles available through all school libraries.

Oakland Elementary students are enjoying “An Art Experience and Science Experiment,” while learning about gravity, kinetic energy and potential energy in Gena Hyppolite’s art class. Students enjoy mixing colors or adding water to the paint. They discuss how the momentum of the gravity and the mixture affects the splatter design of the paint. This activity is a great way for students to explore and learn outside of the traditional art lessons that utilize paint brushes.
