Engineering levels the playing field. Anybody can be whatever they want. If kids are working with a 3D printer to design a prosthetic hand, they’re not thinking about socioeconomic barriers. They’re thinking about what they can do with that printer.

About TAME Regions
TAME Regions provide local leadership and support for engineering education. From the high plains to the gulf, TAME brings exciting engineering programming to 6-12 students all across Texas. Our local regions make this possible.
Led by dedicated volunteers from local engineering industries, school districts, higher education institutions, and libraries, TAME Regions develop locally relevant offerings like career days, factory tours, and professional development for teachers. Local Regional Leaders work with TAME’s strong network of 6-12 teachers, higher education partners, and corporate partners to strengthen the education-to-employment pipeline in Texas.
TAME Regions cover large areas of Texas corresponding to the Texas Education Agency regions. Each TAME Region coordinates local events for TAME Clubs formed by schools, libraries, homeschool groups, and other organizations.
