Matching Curriculums with Industry Needs by ArkLaTex Chapter
Our IT personnel have represented the chapter through a close
relationship with Louisiana Tech's Computer Science faculty
while mentoring graduating CS students, helping grade senior
projects, as well as, teaching mobile applications
development classes for the iPhone in their CIS Systems
Analysis and Design course. This has also been hugely
instrumental in helping local/regional colleges/universities
develop specific curriculum to support an ever-growing IT
workforce pipeline requirements/needs in NW Louisiana and
throughout Texas.

Rocket-Box Program by Lexington-Concord Chapter
Seed funding provided by a grant from AFCEA International.
Provided enough to sponsor three schools. This year funding
was provided by the chapter and we're now up to 6 schools
with plans for expanding. Contents are supplies for rockets,
lesson plans and detailed DVDs. It is a 4-day lesson plan and
YAC teams will go to schools to observe final launch. Works
out to be about $8 per box with a very flexible lesson plan
included. Schools have tailored the program to coincide with
their lesson plans as well. They have also expanded upon the
included plan with videos and other media. Gets kids hands on
experience in a science based activity, provides excitement
as well.
