House Science Committee Visits The Lone Star State
The House Science Committee on Monday held a field hearing in ranking member Ralph Hall's congressional district that focused on how to engage students in math and science at an early age. At the Texarkana, Texas event, Chairman Bart Gordon pledged to continue to advocate for "the best tools and technologies in our classrooms in order to grow a new generation of innovators to compete in this new global economy."
"The United States’ economy will depend on having a highly skilled workforce in order to compete globally," Gordon said in a statement. "We have enormous responsibility to support younger students’ growth, to stimulate their interest, and to ensure that they are prepared for higher level work in subsequent grades and beyond.”
Witnesses included officials from the National Science Foundation; Texas A&M University; the Texarkana Independent School District; North Heights Junior High School; and aluminum manufacturer Alcoa.
