Grant from Xcel Energy Foundation provides scholarships for WT Engineering Camp
CANYON — A dozen budding engineers are getting plugged into their future career paths thanks to a significant gift to West Texas A&M University from the Xcel Energy Foundation.
The foundation — the charitable arm of Xcel Energy — gave a $20,000 grant to WT’s College of Engineering, officials announced recently. A portion of the funds provided full scholarships to 12 students taking part in WT’s Engineering and Computing Camp, which ran June 5 to 9.
The grant also will provide support for WT’s electrical engineering labs for university students, as well as provide additional funding for camp, which offers classes for students from kindergarten through 12th grade. This year’s camp theme is “STEM for Space,” with students learning about the future of design in space and investigating materials, power and natural resources. Campers are using artificial intelligence to help scientists analyze data more quickly and accurately and automate operations on spacecraft. The continuous development of AI is helping rovers and landers explore other planets and moons in ways never before possible.
