“That was a blast!”

“That was a blast!”

On Thursday, April 25, Mr. Sustek’s High School Chemistry Students benefited from an outreach by ASU Chemistry’s Dr. Ralph Zehnder (aka "Dr. Z") and his star chemistry students (who also happen to be interested in teaching).


(The ASU Chemistry program has a mobile program and visits different schools in the spring after their exams are completed). Dr. Z and his various acolytes have been dazzling Mr. Sustek’s chemistry classes for at least the past 6 years, and he was happy to continue the tradition at TLCA.


Students from Mr. Sustek's 6th-period chemistry class (as well as those in Mr. Hedden's class) came together to participate. The ASU crew demonstrated appropriate chem-lab safety and worked with liquid nitrogen (with a temp of 400 below F) to demonstrate gas laws and phase changes. Furthermore, they demonstrated a carbon tower by dehydrating sugar with sulfuric acid, rapid decomposition of a gummy bear with potassium permanganate, and other chemistry party tricks.


Students left with more interest in pursuing science as a career. We will always welcome any opportunity for them to return, maybe in the future with TLCA grads!

The prizes included gift cards to Texas Roadhouse, Stripes Car Wash, nail salon, hair salon, $25 cash, $25 gift card to Wal-Mart, etc. About $200 in prizes total. We are so proud of these kids!

Young Leaders Showing "The Right Stuff"

Young Leaders Showing "The Right Stuff"

TLCA just finished their second season of competing in the national CyberPatriot competitions. There were four teams this year, our first high school team, our first Civil Air Patrol team (junior high division) and two other junior high teams. CyberPatriot is the National Youth Cyber Education Program. At the center of CyberPatriot is the National Youth Cyber Defense Competition. The competition puts teams of high school and middle school students in the position of newly hired IT professionals tasked with managing the network of a small company. In the rounds of competition, teams are given a set of virtual images that represent operating systems and are tasked with finding cybersecurity vulnerabilities within the images and hardening the system while maintaining critical services in a six-hour period. Teams compete for the top placement within their state and region, and the top teams in the nation earn all-expenses-paid trips to Baltimore, MD for the National Finals Competition where they can earn national recognition and scholarship money. TLCA teams competed against hundreds of teams from across the nation in each division and had two teams that made it to the semi-final round this season but, unfortunately, did not advance to the finals. The teams are so successful because of our partnership with Goodfellow Air Force Base. The teams are allowed to have mentors and, since Goodfellow is a cyber-security training facility for the Air Force, there are many highly qualified and eager mentors who are willing to share their expertise with our students who are exploring careers in the cyber security field.
