The Texas Girls Collaborative Project connects organizations and individuals across Texas committed to informing and motivating girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Do you want to introduce your students to engineering? Cal Poly’s College of Engineering Outreach is available to tell and show students what engineering is all about. Our mission is to inspire students to consider an engineering career path through education and inspiration.
The Engineering is Elementary (EiE) project aims to foster engineering and technological literacy among children. EiE is creating a research-based, standards-driven, and classroom-tested curriculum that integrates engineering and technology concepts and skills with elementary science topics. EiE lessons not only promote K-12 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning, but also connect with literacy and social studies.
The vision of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology)is “to transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes.”
The Texas Center for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (TC-STEM Education) provides research-based professional development, resources, and support to improve the capacity of Texas secondary schools to prepare students who are college and work-ready in mathematics and science—particularly students from low-income and minority backgrounds.
The Science On Wheels Engineering van visits schools in all 39 counties of Washington State. Teachers perform an all-school presentation on the design process for three different types of engineering. Afterwards, students are visited in each classroom for hands-on design activities.
RIPPLE institute’s mission is to inspire young people to pursue careers in science, technological, engineering and mathematical fields of study. This mission is accomplished through an outsource model of community partnership/outreach. The RIPPLE Institute utilizes an outsource model that works with educational institutions to provide a core of basic skills that become the platform for high academic standards and achievement.
The JETS PathAssess™ is an online tool that gives students in grades 9-12 an inside look as to how their interests and skills can align with a career in engineering.
