Teen Engineering and Tech Center (TETCs)

The Teen Engineering and Tech Centers (TETCs) will:

  • Offer innovative after-school programming that introduces students to STEM education and potential STEM careers at no cost to students or their families 
  • Connect a student’s passion to tangible career paths, while preparing him or her for success in school and beyond
  • Feature state-of-the-art makerspaces, 3D printing, a digital garage, and other creative learning areas

The first ExxonMobil Foundation TETC will open in the fall of 2024 in Spring, Texas, and a second facility will follow in Houston. Future plans call for opening centers in other communities where ExxonMobil operates.
