Canyon Vista Elementary School Teacher Receives
Engineering Excellence in Education Award
Canyon Vista Elementary School fifth grader teacher, Kim Brooks, was presented recently
with the Engineering Excellence in Education award by Irvine-based architecture and
engineering firm, Stantec. The firm chose to recognize Brooks for her dedication, time and
effort in creating interest among her students in Science, Technology, Engineering and
Math (STEM).
Brooks was awarded a plaque and a fully-equipped engineering computer workstation for
her class during a recent morning flag assembly at the school. The new workstation,
donated by Stantec, complemented a 3-D printer provided earlier this spring by Autodesk,
allowing Brooks to further facilitate her students' journey towards potential futures in
engineering and design.
Brooks dedicated time earlier this year to learn about educational engineering software and
materials for her students to participate in the Anaheim Ducks' 15th Annual First Flight
Field Trip. Her class joined more than 16,000 students from Southern California for
interactive, inspirational STEM-related activities at Honda Center in Anaheim. As an event
partner, Stantec was onsite educating students how to "think like an engineer" through
hands-on exercises. Students also had the opportunity to participate in the "Design a Puck"
challenge, where they competed to create manufactured pucks for the Ducks using 3-D
design software. One of Brooks's students, Merril Steenari, was a designer of one of the
winning pucks selected for production and demonstration at the event.
