48 NOVEMBER 2024 WorldWide Drilling Resource® TXOGA Inspiring the Next Generation Adapted from Information by the Texas Oil & Gas Association (TXOGA) Fifth grade students from St. Mary’s Catholic School and Dora Romero Elementary School from the Brownsville area visited the Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin. Both schools were selected as winners of a contest organized by TXOGA as part of its educational outreach efforts. TXOGA has provided sponsorships for the Mobile Energy Learning Unit (MELU) to visit elementary schools across Texas to promote science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and careers in the natural gas and oil industry. The MELU is a $1.2 million exhibit featuring six self-contained learning stations with curriculum-based, hands-on activities about the energy, technologies, and sciences involved with the natural gas and oil industry. As part of its most recent MELU tour, TXOGA and Rio Grande LNG sponsored a contest challenging students to learn more about the industry and to draw everyday items created from natural gas and oil. Winning students were treated to an all-expenses-paid field trip to Austin which included a visit to the Bullock’s Texas Oil and Gas Exhibit followed by a guided tour of the Texas State Capitol. “Our students, teachers, and the entire St. Mary’s community appreciates TXOGA and Rio Grande LNG for sponsoring our field trip to our Texas State Capital to learn more about the Texas oil and gas industry and our state government,” said Ana Gomez, principal at St. Mary’s Catholic School. “This field trip was such an extraordinary opportunity for our students to experience in-person what they’re learning in school about STEM education and careers by visiting the Texas Oil and Gas Exhibit, and it was awe-inspiring to see our beautiful, historic State Capitol building.” In his welcome to participating students, TXOGA President Todd Staples urged them to stay curious about science and engineering and shared with them some exciting career opportunities available in the natural gas and oil industry.
