Dr. Angelique Johnson is CEO/founder of MEMStim LLC, a company that produces implantable electronics to treat neurological disorders. With a doctorate in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan, her work on microfabricated electrode arrays has resulted in several national and international patents, funding from the NSF and NIH, and a feature on the cover of Hearing Research.
Nineteen K-12 teachers from Houston, El Paso, Arizona, and Connecticut areas have come together to disseminate their summer research. It is our hope, that learning about the exciting and innovative studies will spark teachers across the country to incorporate cutting-edge research into their Project-Based Learning lessons.

Taylor High School- Katy ISD
This workshop will enhance participants' understanding of how scientists are currently using viruses for gene therapy. Participants will learn about viral structures, general morphology, and how viruses attach to their different hosts.
Middle School - Cleveland ISD
This workshop will help teachers develop a maker challenge for their students. Participants will come away with an understanding of maker challenges and how they can be incorporated into inquiry-based lessons.
Westbury High School - Houston ISD
This workshop will show teachers how simple, inexpensive materials such as quick-set cement and plastic signs can be used as a STEM Project. Participants can use the lesson as instructed or use the technique as a way to challenge their students to make an object that is limited by the preparation of the mold and the students' imagination.
