BioCycle for educators:

Empower Texas Classrooms

For Title I public & charter schools across Texas (K–12)

Texas educators: this is your moment to innovate. Our new program provides a straightforward path to cutting-edge technology, free training, and new funding.

We partner with tech leaders (for example, Apple’s expanded STEAM grants deliver hardware and training to schools worldwide govtech.com) so you can bring project-based STEM learning and maker culture to every classroom. With us, your school can tap real resources right away — from state device grants to national STEM programs.

Benefits & Incentives

Technology & STEM Labs: Get tablets, laptops, lab equipment and maker-space kits. Texas offers new state grants (e.g. the Technology Lending Grant) to equip Title I campuses tea.texas.gov. Federal Title I/II funds let schools upgrade STEM labs and buy classroom tech tea.texas.govtea.texas.gov.

Major Grants: Become eligible for millions in grant funding. Sources include Lowe’s Toolbox for Education (up to $25K per school project) neafoundation.org, TEA’s new Mobile STEM Lab program and 21st Century Community Learning Center grants tealprod.tea.state.tx.ustea.texas.gov, plus additional federal STEM grants. We guide you to these opportunities.

Texas teachers can earn stipends (for example, a $650 scholarship and free STEM kit through UTeach CS) and free professional learning cs.uteach.utexas.edu. Our program also provides ongoing workshops and curriculum training to energize your instruction.
