The teaching through technologies (t3) alliance provides a replicable, adaptable, and scalable curriculum with a comprehensive support mechanism that can be widely adapted to increase the stem engagement of high school students. The project focuses on emerging technological areas related to codeable digital devices (raspberry pi), 3d printing, and autonomous systems (land, air, water) instruction. Robust instructor support and communication promotes the 1) exchange of current activities and ideas across sites; 2) collaboration on problem-solving challenges; 3) discover stem fields and career paths; 4) instructor training and support; 5) two- way communication with stem career professionals. The t3 pillars include 1) a growth mindset, 2) stem technology, and 3) community engagement.
