Trailblazer

Students with Trailblazer

The Trailblazer is a 40-foot exhibit trailer that houses a variety of engineering and science exhibits targeted at students in grades 3 to 7. The Trailblazer is the only interactive science and engineering museum-on-wheels in Texas. As it travels across the state, the Trailblazer engages students, teachers and parents through hands-on activities and exhibits that highlight fundamental concepts in science and engineering.

Trained volunteers provide explanations and demonstrations of all the exhibits. Since all the exhibits are mapped to specific science TEKS for grades 3 to 7, teachers can easily incorporate the exhibits into their lesson plans and provide students with an opportunity to go on an in-school field trip. Take-away material is provided for both teachers and students to sustain interest students’ interest in science and engineering after the Trailblazer visits.
