Woodside Energy will launch a $300,000 two-year partnership with
Friends of Energy Institute in support of Energy Institute High
School. This is one of the largest donations to date in support of
the Houston Independent School District (HISD) magnet school.
"Our collaboration with Friends of Energy Institute reflects our
commitment to empowering the next generation of innovators and
leaders in the community,” said Woodside Executive Vice President
& Chief Operating Officer International Daniel Kalms.
“Through this partnership, we aim to inspire and support
students as they explore and excel in the fields of energy and
STEM."
Woodside’s contribution will support the VEX and First Robotics
Competition Clubs, health and wellness initiatives, lab supplies,
and state-of-the-art equipment for the science labs and makerspace,
where the students come together to create, problem solve and
learn.
Energy Institute High School was established in 2013 as the
first high school in the nation to offer a STEM-focused curriculum
taught completely through project-based learning. The school aims
to connect Houston ISD students to Houston’s thriving energy
community. Students receive four years of dedicated engineering
coursework and have the ability to apply that learning through
community exhibitions, robotics programs, local engineering
competitions, and internships with corporate partners.
Principal and founder Lori Lambropoplous said: “I am deeply
grateful for the generous donation from Woodside Energy. They are
investing in the energy leaders of tomorrow. This contribution will
not only elevate the academic experiences of our students but also
empower them with hands-on learning opportunities that prepare them
for future careers in STEM fields. We are excited to see the
lasting impact of this partnership on our students and
community.”
Woodside’s donation will be administered through Friends of
Energy Institute, a 501(c)3 non-profit created in 2020 by former
Energy Institute teachers and community leaders working in energy
and STEM fields to enhance the educational, professional, and STEM
opportunities for students and teachers at the school.
