In the College of Science, we are passionate about introducing the world to science, its careers, and its contributions to daily life. We are dedicated to supporting the ever-changing needs of Texas public educators charged with helping students explore the possibilities of science and mathematics. For us, that begins with introducing K-12 students to the joys of science and mathematics through hands-on and family-friendly events and competitions.
