Skype with Texas Central high-speed train project expert

This morning, our scholars had the opportunity to Skype with Rebecca Cowle, an expert on the Texas Central high-speed train project that will allow travel from Dallas to Houston in 90 minutes. The majority of the time was allocated for Q&A, and our scholars asked great questions to connect to their maglev train projects! Students also noted the "Come and Take it" reference that they had just studied in Social Studies!
