Students at Nathaniel Hawthorne Elementary School in grades 3–5 had the recent opportunity to experience an on-campus field trip.
TAME, also known as Texas Alliance for Minorities in Engineering, provided a grant to the campus, which accommodated nearly 200 students in a 40-foot trailer. TAME’s traveling STEM museum-on-wheels included hands-on interactive exhibits on energy, space, biotechnology, weather, and aerodynamics mapped to the TEKS.
Students left the exhibits with new knowledge in relation to science TEKS and STEM professions.
