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 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.”
Students at this week-long, co-ed, residential camp will explore things such as:
STEPS is a one-week introduction to the world of technology and engineering. Campers participate in hands-on activities that give them an understanding of what engineers do. Students will also explore science and engineering topics such as materials, clean manufacturing, CAD and team building.
