Texas EcosySTEM Resources
The Texas Education Agency has developed tools to help districts engage with families through STEM Education programming and build awareness throughout the community by expanding learning beyond the classroom.
Free Mobile STEM Laboratory Experiences
The Texas Education Agency is proud to provide the Mobile STEM Laboratory at no cost to districts across Texas. The Mobile STEM Laboratory will provide engaging, hands-on STEM experiences for K-8 students and teachers using a custom-outfitted STEM learning space. Teachers and administrators can request a visit for their school beginning on June 1. The lab includes TEA approved TEKS-aligned curriculum, in-classroom STEM experiments and equipment, immersive STEM career experience, and on-site support from STEM educators.
