APPLIED MATERIALS (continued)
Austin Pre-Freshman Engineering Program (AusPrEP) AusPrEP offers a summer experience for minority students with the goal of increasing STEM skills. Students in the AusPrEP program are exposed to STEM curriculum, career awareness, robotics and design projects and fi eld trips. STEM curriculum includes logic, engineering, algebraic structures, physics, computer science, probability and statistics, mathematical problem solving, and writing.
Austin Community College – Youth Summer Programs Two-week youth summer programs are aimed at strengthening STEM skills for at-risk middle school students. Courses include math, science and technology activities, as well as parent workshops on academics and future career opportunities and requirements for students.
ChemBridge In partnership with the University of Texas Austin, the program provides college preparatory experiences to high school students who are underrepresented in postsecondary institutions. ChemBridge is a web-based, dual-credit course that allows high school students to earn six hours of college chemistry credit upon satisfactory completion of the course.
Advanced Placement Incentive Program
The APIP program provides incentives for teachers and students based on qualifying scores on math, science, and English AP exams. AP Strategies encourages low-income schools to increase numbers of students taking college-level coursework in high school. Teachers receive high-quality training. Applied supports this program in our partner school in Austin, TX.
HIGHER EDUCATION
UTeach Internship Program The UTeach program encourages more students pursuing degrees in math and science to receive a dual degree in education, thereby increasing the number of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) teachers. Applied supports two UTeach interns in our partner programs and schools.
OTHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Technology and Education Executive Council (TEEC) The TEEC is a consortium of high tech industry executives and education leaders engaged in joint problem solving on challenging workforce and education issues. TEEC pools the collective resources of its members and takes action, working with the entire K-16 education system to impact the quality of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education in central Texas. Programs include FIRST LEGO League, Step Up!, Velocity Prep, Capitol BEST Robotics Program, Central Texas Discover Engineering, Skillpoint Alliance Summer Educator Institutes, Skillpoint Alliance College and Career EXPO, and Texas Alliance for Minorities in Engineering.
