Empowering Texas Educators to Inspire the Next Generation of Innovators in Robotics and STEM – Preparing Students for High-Demand Texas Careers in Technology, Engineering, Manufacturing, and Beyond.
This two-day professional development conference is designed specifically for Texas K-12 teachers, STEM coordinators, administrators, and current or potential robotics/drone coaches. Join us to discover practical ways to integrate robotics and drones into your classrooms, fostering essential 21st-century skills such as problem-solving, collaboration, critical thinking, computational thinking, and perseverance—all aligned with Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards.
Attendees will explore TEKS-aligned curricula from leading providers like the Robotics Education & Competition (REC) Foundation, enabling schools to make deliberate, cost-effective decisions about STEM funding and program implementation. The event emphasizes long-term sustainability through information on REC Foundation grants and other funding opportunities to support robotics teams, teacher training, equipment, and ongoing participation—helping educators build programs that evolve with Texas educational standards and workforce demands.
