TAME's Commitment
To inspire the next generation of Texas engineers
“I feel I owe a lot of where I am now to TAME. I grew up in a small town and TAME opened up my eyes to engineering. TAME lets kids know that there are possibilities outside of their town. There are so many opportunities, and I’d hate to think any kids were missing out.”
– Guadalupe Gonzales, Boeing Safety & Reliability Manager, International Space Station, TAME Alumna
For 50 years, TAME has offered extracurricular engineering education programs — including Clubs, Competitions and Scholarships — for middle and high school students in communities statewide at no cost to students.
Engineering Education Focused on Real World Challenges
Opening up the world of engineering careers
TAME works to spark students’ interest in engineering concepts and support their long-term success in engineering education and careers.
TAME has reviewed the evidence and developed research-backed middle and high school programs that center the most important factors for student success in engineering and other STEM fields.
MISSION:
TAME facilitates opportunities for all Texas students to explore futures in engineering.
VISION:
TAME envisions a Texas where students realize their full potential, build community in engineering, and create solutions that reflect and celebrate our vibrant world.
Half a Century of Engineering Education
Impact
“What makes TAME special is that they reached out to us. I didn’t go looking for them. They came to us and they tried to get us involved. That was a big deal. Also, it was free to go to the competitions. A lot of kids wouldn’t have been able to afford to go to something like that, but it was free. TAME … helped us see that engineering and science are good fields to go into, they showed us that it’s attainable, and they showed us a way to get there.”
