Through the grant, Charlotte was able to purchase inflatable CPR manikins, giving students the opportunity to practice proper CPR techniques in a safe, engaging, and age-appropriate environment.

πŸš€ Go For Launch Midland took off today!

Students from across Midland ISD gathered at Goddard Junior High for an exciting day of STEM exploration, teamwork, problem-solving, and big ideas!

One of the highlights of the day was the opportunity to hear from NASA astronaut Dr. Richard Linnehan, who shared his experiences and encouraged students to keep exploring what’s possible. πŸ‘¨β€πŸš€βœ¨

This incredible experience was made possible through a generous investment from Chevron Permian, giving Midland ISD students in grades 8–12 the opportunity to participate in Go For Launch Midland! πŸš€
