LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Tennessee’s Commitment to STEM Excellence
The Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE)’s Best for All strategic plan sets a clear vision: that every student in the Volunteer State will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to successfully pursue their chosen path in life.
Central to that vision is a recognition that STEM education is no longer optional. The Tennessee STEM Innovation Network (TSIN), in partnership with TDOE, works to expand rigorous, integrated STEM and STEAM learning statewide. To prepare Tennessee students for a competitive future, schools across the state are working to ensure every learner is:
- Exposed to high-quality, hands-on STEM experiences
- Supported in building the critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration skills future employers demand
- Connected to career pathways in one of the nation’s fastest-growing STEM job markets
- Equipped to pursue postsecondary credentials and thrive in a high-skill, high-wage economy
Achieving these goals means investing in innovative learning environments, empowering educators, and making STEM accessible to every student. That’s where SmartLab comes in.
Where Career
Connections Begin
Career Connections happen when Integrated STEM applications meet Career and Industry Pathways. This intersection grounds every SmartLab unit in meaningful context, helping students understand how their learning links to real careers, real tools, and real futures.
