When does the UTeach Outreach STEM Club meet?
Clubs are hosted weekly at each school with two University of Texas student leaders facilitating lessons and team building. Our student leaders will come to your classroom one day per week, for 1.5 to 2 hours, for 7-8 weeks during the semester, culminating in a competition at the end of the semester at UT. Students will have to ask their science teacher for specific days and times.
Where does the UTeach Outreach STEM Club meet?
Our STEM Club is an afterschool program at local middle or elementary schools and is designed to engage students in science, technology, math, and engineering topics using hands-on activities.
How much does it cost to attend?
As long as your child is attending one of the schools we currently serve, the club will not cost you anything. We provide the materials and staff requried because we believe every student deserves the chance to find their passion in science, technology, engineering, and math.
My students are bilingual/largely Spanish speaking. What can UTeach do in this situation?
All of our lessons provide both English and Spanish translations of worksheets. In most cases, a billingual host teacher will also be present.
Does my student need to bring anything?
After their permisson slip gets turned in, they only need curiousity and a sharpened pencil!
Who are the program instructors?
Program instructors are current UT students taking our UTeach Outreach course. As always, a teacher from your child's school will be present at all times.
How do I register my student?
Have your child ask his/her science teacher and they will provide the time/day of the STEM Club. Your child will also need to return a permission slip, or they can ask their science teacher for a hard copy.
