The National Science Foundation Division of Engineering Education and Centers awarded Texas A & M University–Kingsville $599,997 on September 1, 2026, to operate a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site focused on integrating data-driven research in resilient energy systems across disciplines. The project will strengthen a multidisciplinary community of practice at Texas A & M University–Kingsville by bringing together middle and high school teachers (grades 6–12) from rural and urban South Texas areas with teacher educators, researchers, industrial advisors, and graduate students to conduct authentic cutting-edge research on energy resilience and data science. Participants will develop innovative curricular modules for promoting energy resilience and data science literacy in middle and high school classrooms. The RET Site will integrate laboratory research, classroom teaching, and real-world industry experiences to deepen teacher and student understanding of data-driven energy resilience while exploring effective pedagogies for both rural and urban learners. The project also aims to build a future STEM workforce by developing potential researchers and educators from both rural and urban communities to engage with data-driven energy resilience research and address Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills curriculum requirements in energy and data science. The award runs through August 31, 2029, with performance at Kingsville, Texas. Funding falls under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041).
