Education that Moves 

Now Available for Fall 2023

Learning Undefeated and the Port of Corpus Christi have partnered to bring a totally new kind of STEM learning experience to schools in Nueces and San Patricio Counties in Texas.

The Port of Corpus Christi PORT-Able Learning Lab is a mobile shipping container that introduces students to STEM concepts using immersive reality, light, sound, and touchscreen walls. This portable learning experience travels directly to the school parking lot, where students explore science, technology, engineering, and math through immersive reality and collaborative gameplay.

In fall 2023, high school students will have the opportunity to take on the role of an intern in the Port of Corpus Christi and assist in the construction of a dock that takes into account the budget, material strength, environmental concerns, and wildlife in the area through interactive gameplay and team collaboration.

During spring 2024, our elementary and middle school students will have the opportunity, through interactive gameplay and team collaboration, to collect evidence about chemical reactions, make claims, and use evidence to form arguments or to assist a farmer in learning the right way to farm.
