 Accomplish Strategic Objectives

STEM Learning in the Lone Star State

By implementing innovative, standards-aligned programming in all schools, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) aims to prepare young learners to compete in the global economy of tomorrow. To support educators and students in achieving this goal, schools and districts need to improve access to equitable, high-quality education that fulfills Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills Standards (TEKS)

It all starts with leveraging engaging learning tools at the elementary and secondary school levels, with an emphasis on STEM and STEAM concepts. More than a check in a box, TEKS-aligned SmartLab Learning Solutions help students of all abilities build a foundation for lifelong curiosity and postsecondary success.

Hear From Our Happy Clients

Alice Hill

“In our school, some students need help learning to resolve conflict… In a SmartLab HQ, students learn to be problem-solvers while boosting their communication skills—this helps them learn how to resolve conflicts. Here, they’re engaged and on-task. They’re thinking, learning, and solving problems.”

Alice Hill
SmartLab Facilitator, Aldine ISD Magnet School| Houston, TX
Todd Baringer

“They want to stay in the SmartLab HQ through their classes, during lunch, during recess, and yes—we actually have to ask our students to leave the school because it’s time to go home.”
