Congresswoman Johnson Applauds Texas Instruments' $6.2 Million Investment In K - 12 STEM Education

“The announcement of these award amounts from TI and its foundation is great news for the North Texas area,” said Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson. “I congratulate and thank TI for continuing to be a leader in improving STEM education and opportunities in Dallas and other communities. Whether boys or girls, Black, Latino, White, Asian or other, the children of Texas and our nation are born scientists. The more we provide them with STEM opportunities and experiences, the more we will be able to nurture their natural curiosity and develop their minds so that they will be prepared to pursue careers, in STEM or otherwise, that contribute to a growing economy and greater well-being for their families and society. It is especially critical that we make these investments in low income and underrepresented communities where such opportunities are more limited. So, I applaud TI for prioritizing investments in STEM education in communities of color. Every positive STEM experience has the chance to set a child on a new path.” - Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson
