MATH AND SCIENCE INITIATIVES
Closing the learning gap
Engineers help shape the future. Whether it’s developing new fuel sources, managing energy resources more efficiently or exploring the outer edges of the universe, engineers make it happen. However, not enough U.S. students are pursuing engineering or other careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). By supporting programs that improve teaching and learning in these key areas, ExxonMobil is focused on making a difference in our children’s lives and our nation’s future.

EXXONMOBIL’S ROLE
Education pathways
ExxonMobil is focused on inspiring and preparing our youth to pursue STEM careers through empowering teacher success, supporting students and partnering with leading education organizations.
Teacher STEM Training program
The ExxonMobil Foundation has launched a Teacher STEM Training program in collaboration with local universities. We want to enhance the STEM knowledge of Houston-area middle school math and science teachers at Title I schools and inspire new ways of delivering STEM content to students. During this year-long experience, teachers will engage in sustained, research-based professional development opportunities and learn innovative instructional practices, all at no cost to the teacher.
Teen Engineering and Tech Centers (TETCs)
Our ExxonMobil Foundation Teen Engineering and Tech Centers (TETCs) will offer innovative after-school programming that will introduce students to STEM education and potential STEM careers at no cost to students or their families. The curriculum will connect a student’s passion to tangible career paths, while preparing him or her for success in school and beyond. The first 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.
