SPECIAL THANKS The Aggie STEM Team thanks all the teachers, students, and administrators, without whom this project would never have been completed. Among those schools that deserve mention are A.J. Moore Academy, W. C. Akins HS STEM Academy, Harmony STEM Academies in Houston, Dallas, Grand Prairie, and San Antonio, Energized for STEM Academy in Houston, and Rapoport Academy in Waco. Noteworthy districts include Dallas Independent School District, Harmony Public Schools and Waco Independent School District with whom we have had long-term relationships. And it is without reservation, that without exceptional administrative support and leadership, STEM education would struggle. Therefore, Dr. Lois Bullock, Dr. Kadir Almus, Dr. Royce Avery, Mr. Juan Gonzalez, Dr. Angela Reiher, and Dr. Soner Tarim stand out as STEM leaders and innovators who foster and nurture STEM under their administrative leadership.
