steam-focus on students
it’s not only in the classroom that entergy arkansas puts a focus on steam opportunities! through the museum of discovery, “girls in stem” workshops and the repertory theatre, we encourage young people to stretch their imaginations and consider the possibilities of a career in any number of fields that will be the jobs of tomorrow.
when it comes to educating arkansas youth, entergy arkansas is full steam ahead, both inside and outside the classroom with a focus on opportunities! through the museum of discovery, “girls in stem” workshops and the repertory theatre, we encourage young people to stretch their imaginations and consider the possibilities of a career in any number of fields that will be the jobs of tomorrow.
steam, which stands for science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics, is the basis for exciting educational opportunities. steam programs and projects provide educational enrichment and exposure to a variety of subjects that can not only get students interested in learning, but they can also spark interest for students’ future careers.
each year, entergy arkansas donates thousands of dollars for steam initiatives and programs. whether it’s free student tickets to the arkansas symphony orchestra and arkansas repertory theater workshops and productions or helping to sponsor the little rock museum of discovery’s tinkerfest, entergy volunteers and contributors enjoy brightening the lives of children across the state.
other steam contribution recipients included:
- arkansas zoological foundation’s glowild event
- arkansas governor’s mansion association of young artists
- hot springs village symphony guild
- mosaic templars culture center, including the annual juneteenth in da rock
- downtown river market sculpture collection
- arkansas museum of fine arts
a special contribution that entergy arkansas employees are proud to present is arcs and sparks, an electrical safety program that demonstrates the dangerous impacts that electricity can have on objects that come into contact with live wires, such as tree branches and metal fences.
besides contributing monetary dollars, employees also serve on various steam boards of directors. director of public affairs john bethel serves the arkansas museum of fine arts, vice president of reliability michael considine is on the executive committee of the museum of discovery, and senior public affairs representative brandi hinkle is a member of the rep board.
students who are exposed to science, engineering and math could one day become entergy employees. this is especially true with the energy pathways offered at robinson and hall high schools. the two energy pathways are sponsored by entergy arkansas through the academies of central arkansas. participating students learn all about the energy industry and explore a variety of future careers, mock interview training and much more.
