Our Impact and Reach
Engineer Your World
An innovative high school engineering curriculum with a dual-enrollment option, exceptional teacher professional development, and ongoing teacher support. Courses are design-based, team-based, and engage students in integrated engineering design, computational thinking, and 21st-century skills.
- 23,000 students served in the first seven years.
- Students report greater interest in pursuing engineering, higher interest in pursuing other STEM studies and careers, and greater confidence that they can succeed after completing Engineer Your World courses.
- “Engineer Your World is foundational at our campus and, quite frankly, life-changing for many of our students.”
UT Computer Science Summer Academies
UT Computer Science Summer Academies introduce high school students to computing through hands-on projects, faculty instruction, and undergraduate mentorship. Students explore specialized fields, discover career pathways, and experience life on the UT Austin campus.
- 446 students served across nine academy sessions in summer 2026, including 175 students attending free residential Scholars Academies.
- Students programmed robots, created playable games, and presented team projects featuring Arduino LED light shows and data research.
- “This academy taught me that if I put my mind to it, I can learn anything.” — Academy for Women participant
UTeach Outreach Summer Camps
UTeach Outreach is celebrating 15 years of the UT PREP Summer STEM Pathway! UT PREP prepares students for college and careers through inquiry-based STEM experiences. UT PREP, along with Early Engagement Camps and STEM Academy, comprises a summer
lineup serving students in 2nd–12th grade.
- 550+ campers served in Summer 2026
- 15 former UT PREP students on staff.
- “UT PREP is an incredible place to grow as a student, scientist,
mathematician, and most importantly as a person. You learn how to collaborate with people, and more importantly, how to effectively collaborate with others.”
UTeach Institute
The UTeach Institute partners with universities across the country to replicate the innovative UTeach Natural Sciences teacher preparation program developed at UT to produce high-quality secondary STEM teachers. UTeach programs produce well-prepared teachers who stay in teaching longer and improve student performance in math and science. View Impact Report.
- UTeach programs are in 53 universities across the nation, including 12 in Texas, and have produced 9,500+ graduates.
- UTeach graduates are projected to teach more than 1 million STEM students annually by 2028.
- “Everything I accomplished in the UTeach program prepared me to feel teaching-ready. This program is incredibly strong, and I can’t overstate how much it helped me get to where I am today.”
