GEAR UP TECH
Tennessee Tech's College of Education has been awarded a record-setting grant of nearly
$10 million from the U.S. Department of Education to support college readiness efforts
in some of the state's most rural and underserved communities.
The Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) grant
is the second largest grant in the university's 109-year history and its largest grant
aimed at directly serving populations in Tennessee.
Tennessee Tech's Millard Oakley STEM Center for the Teaching and Learning of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics is an extraordinary facility, located in Ray Morris Hall, that offers educators, schools, students (PreK through college), and the regional community a wealth of interactive programs, activities, and events.
Fab Fridays and Safari Saturdays Are Becoming Super Saturdays!
We’re excited to announce a new format for our family STEM events! Beginning with the Fall 2026– Spring2027 semesters, Fab Fridays for 5th–8th grade and Safari Saturdays for Pre-K–3rd grade will combine into Super Saturday events for students in Pre-K through 8th grade and their families.
Super Saturdays will bring families together for engaging, hands-on STEM experiences designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and learning across all grade levels.
The registration process will remain the same. Families will continue to register for each event using the existing registration process.
We look forward to welcoming students and families from Pre-K through 8th grade to our Super Saturday events! For more information, please visit our Family & Community Programs page.
