During the 2022/23 school year, Learning Undefeated’s Texas Mobile STEM Lab will visit students and teachers from 28 schools across 20 regions in the state. In partnership with the Texas Education Agency, Learning Undefeated’s custom-outfitted STEM learning space will offer engaging, immersive, hands-on STEM experiences for students and teachers, teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics topics and skills.
Onboard the Texas Mobile STEM Lab, K-8 students solve engineering design challenges and work cooperatively to design a product or process using model STEM activities. All activities focus on students designing solutions to problems and allow for collaboration and exploration. Several of these activities include Magnets Push, Magnets Pull (grades K-1), Jack and the Beanstalk (grades K-2), The True Story of the Three Little Pigs (grades K-2), and Circuits (grades 4-6). You can find a full list of the Texas Mobile STEM Lab curriculum here.
