What is the STEM-on-the-Go Van?

In partnership with RTI and the Defense STEM Education Consortium (DSEC), TIES operates the STEM-on-the-GO Mobile Digital Fabrication/Machining Van. The van is available for the 2022-2023 school year to provide hands-on STEM experiences to students. During the van’s visit to a school, the students will be engaged in solving real-world STEM challenges using the Engineering Design Process while learning how to use design software and the digital fabrication and machining equipment in the van. Pre-designed STEM experiences are grade-level appropriate, customized for students in grades K-12, and facilitated by the STEM-on-the-Go Mobile Fabrication Lab Manager who is a Marine Corps veteran with a B.A. in Middle School Education from the University of North Carolina.
