]]> Committed to bridging the gap in STEM and reaching historically underserved populations, the Whitacre College of Engineering Tea is an event for 3rd and 4th grade students and their families, developed to increase each child’s self-efficacy in their STEM skills and create an interest in STEM fields of study and careers. Along with hands-on activities for student participants, there are informative sessions for family members on how to support their child’s interest in STEM. Guests participate in engineering activities, receive mentoring from TTU engineering students and are treated to tasty tea and delicious goodies.

]]> Whitacre College of Engineering Junior Engineering Clubs allow 5th grade students to explore different fields of engineering, engage in real world, hands-on STEM activities, receive mentoring, and experience Texas Tech University culture. Junior Engineering clubs work to help each club member build self-efficacy in their abilities through the attainment of new knowledge and skills related to STEM. Offered at no cost to participating schools, clubs meet afterschool once a week to educate and cultivate an interest in STEM education. Their time is focused on engineering fields of study and career pathways. Everything culminates in a student STEM expo, allowing club members to showcase what they have learned throughout their time as a junior engineer. Since their start in 2018, the Whitacre College of Engineering Junior Engineering Clubs have served hundreds of students.
