Lack of STEM Many communities lacking access to Internet/STEM No funding or infrastructure For example - students in some communities of McAllen, Texas have no Internet at home and must go to school to use WiFi

Lack of STEM Educators No teachers and no access “lack of certified STEM teachers” Less than 15% of Texas high schools offered the AP Computer Science course in 2013-2014

Annual Conference Update members about STEM issues and current STEM legislation Decide upon platform issues and yearly goals Train members on advocacy techniques Meet with legislators about platform issues

Our Vision In the next few years our goals include... 1,000-2,000 members from all parts of Texas Meet with every Texas legislator Making SACOT a well-known organization that provides insight into the “Voice of STEM High-School Students in Texas”
