UT PREP offers a unique multi-year pathway for students to sequentially build advanced STEM knowledge and skills, with the opportunity to earn high school credit in later levels.
The UTeach Outreach - UT PREP Summer STEM Pathway is a rigorous five-week academic enrichment program designed for middle and high school students. The program focuses on providing advanced content, career exploration, and mentorship in STEM fields through inquiry-based, hands-on activities. Students engage in four courses daily, which for UT PREP 1 include Logic, Mathematical Problem Solving, Electrical Engineering/Robotics, and College & Career Awareness. The curriculum emphasizes project-based learning, group work, and collaborative activities, allowing students to develop systems thinking, critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills. Beyond the classroom, participants explore UT Austin's labs and facilities, interact with career speakers, and engage in recreational activities like racquetball, swimming, and bowling. The program aims to build strong foundations in mathematics, engineering, and computer science, fostering increased confidence and interest in pursuing STEM careers. Students in higher levels of UT PREP (2-4) can also earn high school elective credit accredited by the Texas Education Agency.
UT PREP students arrive on campus by 8:30 a.m. and take four courses each day, which vary by PREP level. Each week, students also participate in sports/games, interact with career speakers, and explore labs and other UT facilities.
This program is ideal for middle and high school students seeking a rigorous, multi-year academic experience in STEM with a focus on advanced concepts, career exploration, and college preparedness.
