Today, we spotlight our Spindletop Emerging Leader

Today, we spotlight our Spindletop Emerging Leader Steering Committee Member, Heetal “HP” Patel of ExxonMobil. Read along as HP shares what Spindletop means to her!
•
How HP Began Her Journey with Spindletop
• “I first became involved with Spindletop through the Spindletop Army of Volunteers. After I participated in a few events, I knew that I wanted to do more. As a member of the Emerging Leaders Steering Committee, I get the chance to shape the future of Spindletop alongside my fellow industry partners. Coupled with our passion for volunteering and helping others, we also work together to help set the strategy needed to be able to give back to the communities in which we work.”
•
Why Spindletop Is Special to HP
• “I believe that it takes a village to raise a child, and Spindletop is that village for so many at-risk children in the greater Houston area. Whether you give your time or dollars, you can see firsthand the impact you leave on the families and children that Spindletop supports. What I love most is seeing the people of the energy industry come together, united, and working to help those who need it the most.”
•
HP’s Favorite Spindletop Activity
• “One of my favorite activities was the Yes Prep Public Schools 2020 Hack-A-Thon. I enjoyed working with the YES Prep teachers to create a real-life engineering scenario that helped underserved high school students, who share a passion in science and engineering, to further develop their problem solving and collaboration skills. I was so impressed with their creativity, innovation, and grit in solving this real-world issue! All the skills necessary to help solve our most urgent global challenges.”

Tomorrow, February 25th, is Introduce a Girl to En

Tomorrow, February 25th, is Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day! On this special day, you can inspire girls about their futures, so they can explore the field of engineering and how it’s used in the real world! In just a single day, you can make a difference by sharing your knowledge, experience, and some fun!

Girls Inc. of Greater Houston, a Spindletop charity partner, inspires all girls to be strong, smart and bold. Through their Operation SMART program, their approach is to teach girls about science through hands-on and minds-on activities helping them get beyond the “yuck” factor sometimes surrounding science and math. Girls develop enthusiasm for and skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Girls explore, ask questions, and solve problems. They also consider careers in these fields by interacting with women and men pursuing such careers.
•
While Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day may just be one day, Girls Inc. sets out year-round to provide this knowledge and paint a picture to young girls ages 6 to 18 of what their future may hold in the field of engineering. This integral teaching and mentorship helps girls realize their goals and dreams. To learn more about Girls Inc. of Greater Houston, please visit: www.girlsinc-houston.org

As National Engineers Week kicks off, we send a hu

As National Engineers Week kicks off, we send a huge thank you to our Spindletop Army of Volunteers, many of whom are engineers or have an engineering background. Through our Spindletop Service Projects, our volunteers participate in a variety of projects serving Houston’s at-risk children, including STEM Days, Hack-a-Thons and Drone Competitions!
•
At Spindletop, our mission is to enhance the lives of at-risk youth through funding and volunteering from the oil and gas industry, while promoting fellowship and networking among our participants. Our amazing volunteers live our mission by giving their time, energy and insight to many children in need throughout greater Houston. And with their help at our STEM-related projects, they are building and teaching the future generations of engineers!

Thank you so much for all you do, Spindletop Army Volunteers!
