Texas Mobile Lab Education Program Renewed, Will Serve All 20 Texas Education Regions in 2022-2023 School Year

GAITHERSBURG, Md. - STEM education nonprofit Learning Undefeated announced continued partnership with the Texas Education Agency for the 2022-2023 Texas Mobile STEM Laboratory program now open for registration until May 27 at no cost to the school or students.

The traveling program will serve K-8 students and teachers throughout all twenty Texas educational regions for the upcoming school year. It provides cross-curricular engineering design challenges and allows students to engage with the engineering design process through brainstorming, designing, and testing.

Drawing on more than 20 years of mobile laboratory experience, Learning Undefeated's Texas Mobile STEM Laboratory is a custom-outfitted learning space that travels from school to school. The TEKS-aligned curriculum is presented by scientist-educators using a near-peer teaching model, incorporating STEM concepts as they relate to everyday life and career opportunities in the state.

"We are elated to continue serving students across the Lone Star State through our partnership with the Texas Education Agency for another school year," said Brian Gaines, CEO of Learning Undefeated. "Texas has thousands of great STEM opportunities in fields such as oil and gas, computing and engineering, with job growth in STEM careers significantly outpacing job growth in other Texas industries. We want all students to know about these fantastic job opportunities available right in their backyard."

Focusing on rural schools and areas of high economic need, the mobile laboratory will travel to a new school each week, crossing the entire state each school year. Elementary and middle school students will be introduced to STEM through engaging and immersive lessons taught by professional science educators. TEA-approved curriculum and activities will dovetail with Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) educational standards to build teacher capacity and integrate STEM concepts into the classroom early in students' educational experience.

All Texas schools that offer classes for grades K-8 are eligible for a visit. For more information on the Texas Mobile STEM Laboratory Program, go to http://txmobilestem.org.
