Through innovative, hands-on, design-based learning, over 1,000 teachers have inspired more than 85,000 K12 students with the award-winning DTEACh program. DTEACh professional development engages K12 teachers from ALL disciplines to confidently integrate STEM content and 21st centruy skills into informal and formal learning environments.
K12 educators explore engineering design and how to effectively integrate those concepts in their teaching
Password protected resources for formal and informal learning environments
UT students and industry employees work with children to get them college bound and career ready
Hands-On Technology Exploration introduces an engineering subject (e.g., structures, mechanisms, automation) to participants through examples that they might encounter in their everyday lives, thereby providing meaningful context and empowering participants to identify science, mathematics, and engineering principles at work

Project Reporting, Feedback, Reflecting, & Revising offers participants chances to gain experience communicating technical information by describing their design solutions, fielding insight from others, critically viewing and reflecting on their decisions, and modifying their designs
Open-Ended Design-Based Learning Projects offer a wealth of learning opportunities (e.g., synthesis, integration of concepts, cause-and-effect reasoning) and connect students to socially- and culturally-relevant engineering challenges in their world
Exploratory Labs allow participants to experience engineering principles in a controlled manner, a crucial step in learning to solve design problems
Interactive Discussions of the principles illustrated by the technology examples leads naturally to an in-depth exploration of the science and mathematics concepts underlying the particular engineering subject area
