Mouser-sponsored "Engineering the Holidays" Inspires Students with Fun Activities to Learn about Science, Technology, Engineering and Math

December 5, 2024 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, today announced its support of the recent Engineering the Holidays educational exhibit at the annual Toys for Tots Event, benefiting families in the Mansfield Independent School District (MISD) in Mansfield, Texas. The popular holiday event was held at the Dr. Jim Vaszauskas Center for the Performing Arts on December 4 and featured STEM activities, fun attractions, live performances, music, food trucks and more.

Local businesses and citizens, including Mouser employees, were encouraged to bring new, unwrapped toys to contribute to the toy drive, with collected toys earmarked for needy Mansfield area families. The evening included an "Engineering the Holidays" exhibit, sponsored by Mouser in partnership with the MISD Education Foundation, featuring (STEM) science, technology, engineering and math activities and displays, such as creating a simple electronic circuit.

"Since Mouser's beginnings, education has played a key role in our mission. Encouraging young minds helps to develop innovative problem-solving skills. Learning the principles of engineering gives students a platform for creativity and an opportunity to build character and self-esteem," said Kevin Hess, Mouser's Senior Vice President of Marketing. "This event was a great opportunity to help foster the minds of future engineers in our own community and support families this holiday season."  

Mouser is the largest private employer in Mansfield, located in the DFW Metroplex. The company has a rich history of supporting education in the community. Mouser regularly donates to the MISD Education Foundation, funding STEM grants that allow teachers to provide a host of student opportunities. Previous Mouser-funded grants have supported expanding makerspaces in Mansfield High School libraries and providing drone technology and robotics kits to help students develop essential skills.

This year marked the 77th anniversary of the Toys for Tots program, which was founded in 1947 by Marine Corps Reserve Major Bill Hendricks. That first year, Marines distributed about 5,000 toys to children in the Los Angeles area. Today, the Marine Toys for Tots Program distributes approximately 24.4 million toys to 9.9 million children annually.
