“I think of my job as building a STEM ecosystem: finding the right people from different backgrounds and connecting them to TAME and to each other. The stronger these connections are, the easier it is for all of us to do good work.”
Savita Raj, Executive Director of TAME, 2010-2019
TAME programs depend on the support of over 800 volunteers from local STEM industries, schools, libraries, and communities.
The TAME State Office is staffed by dedicated professionals who coordinate the day to day work of TAME, support Club Sponsors and Chapter activities, and plan for the organization’s long-term growth. In addition, TAME Trailblazer Facilitators deliver TAME’s mobile STEM museum program across Texas, training volunteers and engaging students.
The TAME Board of Directors, made up of representatives from STEM-related industries and academic institutions, actively oversees and monitors the organization and its programs.
TAME Chapter Chairs and leadership teams across Texas deliver our programs to students and communities across the state. TAME receives financial support from the private sector, local communities, and matching funds from the State of Texas.
