So the kids who made the strongest one would win the contest.” Developing an idea, putting the grant proposal together and working with the students to create and develop their idea was as much of a learning experience for Wheeler as it was for his students. “As a teacher you are always looking for new ideas but when the kids are doing projects rather than just being lectured at, they learn so much more,” Wheeler said. “The trick is to find projects that the kids are interested in and don’t mind doing but that at the same time will allow them to learn things. That is where I learned a lot, especially from the other teachers in Torrance.” For Ablett it is as important to excite and engage students in STEM outside of the classroom as well as inside. Part of the challenge has been developing methods that allow kids to engage STEM activities and the ExxonMobil STEM Awards recognizes the efforts of teachers and school administrators working to accomplish said goal. “Due to the way that we may have taught some of these subjects in the past, people might have thought that math wasn’t for them, or that they couldn’t do it or that it was too difficult,” Ablett said. “My experience with kids and young people is that whatever it is that they are interested in or excited about, they are good at. Kids are naturally curious and if you give them enough to bite on, they will start chewing. We just need to give them enough of a reason to get involved and engaged.” In 1997, the Torrance Refinery and the ExxonMobil Foundation began the awards program to aid the development of innovative educational projects and provide teachers the opportunity to enhance their classroom with creative and exciting curriculum. By 2010 the program was restructured to emphasize a stronger focus on STEM and to date ExxonMobil has awarded more than $1.4 million dollars in classroom grants through this program. “We strongly support education since education makes people much more aware of what is going on around them, so it is a very natural thing to support something that represents the core values of our company,” Ablett said. “We do a lot through STEM education, we support university education and we try to get out there with our people by encouraging our young managers to get involved with the community as well. At the end of the day if we are better educated and better aware and it is better for society.” The winners of the 18th Annual ExxonMobil STEM Awards Program were: For Elementary schools: Allen Chin, Judi Brewer, Judy van Wie, and Maureen Arevalo (Adams); Theresa Levell (Anza); Rubi Ahmed and Carol Hankey (Arnold); Teri Shimizu (Carr); Gayle Bond, Kelly Colliuns, and Lori Nagaoka (Hickory); Ryaoko Higashi (Lincoln); Beth Pachal (Riviera); Lucy Doty, Paula Paulson, Tara Fink, and Steve Jennewein (Victor).
