Free Mobile Lab Curriculum:

In partnership with TEA, Learning Undefeated created an adaptable, cross-disciplinary framework and model activities for the ɬÀï·¬ Mobile STEM Lab to introduce ɬÀï·¬ teachers and students to principles of engineering design aligned to ɬÀï·¬ Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). The lessons include defining a problem, identifying criteria and constraints, designing, building, testing, evaluating, and iteration.

Mobile STEM Lab Features:

The ɬÀï·¬ Mobile STEM Labs use Learning Undefeated’s trailer,Ìý with advanced technology and laboratory equipment, to create an immersive learning environment for 24 students, their teachers, and a Learning Undefeated facilitator. Technology includes a large format touchscreen TV, surround sound, and LED lighting.

The ɬÀï·¬ Mobile STEM Lab is self-sufficient with its own water, electricity, heating, and cooling. It is also equipped with a shoreline for electrical power.

The mobile laboratories transport classroom resource carts for teacher-led hands on activities. All activities are TEA-approved and aligned to the TEKS curriculum for each grade level. Classroom teachers will have access to ɬÀï·¬approved TEKS-aligned curriculum, resources, equipment, and on-site support from the Mobile STEM Laboratory during their visit.
