Committed to bridging the gap in STEM and reaching historically underserved populations, the Whitacre College of Engineering Tea is an event for 3rd and 4th grade students and their families, developed to increase each child’s self-efficacy in their STEM skills and create an interest in STEM fields of study and careers. Along with hands-on activities for student participants, there are informative sessions for family members on how to support their child’s interest in STEM. Guests participate in engineering activities, receive mentoring from TTU engineering students and are treated to tasty tea and delicious goodies.
