We’re pushing STEM volunteer and mentor needs out to a wide network of STEM professionals on September 6th. If your classroom or organization has a need for a STEM volunteer or mentor (or a team of them!), enter your request into Texas STEM Connections by the morning of September 5th to be included.
Find instructions for how to enter a request for a volunteer here.
Texas STEM Connections is a web-based tool that makes it easy for STEM professionals to connect with K-20 educators, classrooms, out of school time programs, and other volunteer opportunities. Professionals can share their skills and expertise to bring real-world, authentic learning opportunities to all our students helping to create the next generation of innovators. Through in-person matches and virtual sessions, professionals can help educators and program providers connect their students to the world of STEM. Together we can make a difference.

Applications due Monday, January 31, 2018
Each summer, STEM teachers from local schools participate in a 7 week program where they work alongside faculty and graduate students, participating in graduate-level research projects within the field of engineering, focusing on nanomanufacturing. In addition to the research component, RET staff and faculty will guide teachers to develop and teach engineering-based lessons that connect current research in engineering to K-12 curricula in the classroom, and promote engineering as an exciting career that allows K-12 students to apply their math and science education to real-world problems. INCLUDES STIPEND AND MATERIALS GRANTS!

Deadline is March 15, 2018
This scholarship will be awarded to promising high school seniors who plan to attend a vocational or academic college and have a financial need. The amount of this renewable scholarship to be awarded is $5,000 per year, up to $20,000. The scholarship is paid through the Seattle Foundation on behalf of the disAbility Employee Resource Group (ERG) at Microsoft to the recipient’s school’s Financial Aid Office.
The University of Texas at Austin has funding to help you bring a project-based engineering course to your Texas high school in 2018-2019. The courses and comprehensive teacher support were developed by a team of UT faculty in collaboration with NASA engineers and secondary teachers. Students complete a series of engaging and socially relevant design challenges to develop engineering design skills, internalize engineering habits of mind, and explore the breadth of engineering professions.
Students in the first course are eligible to earn dual-enrollment credit from one of several UT institutions while they're still in high school. This may be the last year we can offer implementation support ($6200 per campus), so now is the time to learn more!
