TECH TRUCK PROGRAM
Our TECH Trucks serve as interactive
STEM workshops on wheels, traveling
throughout North Texas to deliver
immersive experiences that build
essential 21st-century skills, including
creative problem-solving, design thinking,
and digital fluency. Through engaging,
hands-on activities — from building
bridges with colorful plastic connectors
to designing video games with BloxelsTM
— the TECH Trucks ignite curiosity and
instill confidence in learners.
“Jack & Jill Arlington Chapter wants
to send a great big THANK YOU
for your support and partnership
for our Innovation Nation event!
Your kindness left a lasting impression
on the children in attendance.
Due to your support, we were able to
provide an all-inclusive and fun STEM
experience that will stick with them
for a lifetime.”
— Dana Crosslin-Ibeh

This year, more than 36,000 participants
experienced the power of hands-on
STEM learning through the TECH Trucks.
Generous donor support powered exciting
new milestones: The trucks visited every
one of the Dallas Public Library’s 30
locations as part of summer reading
programming, and the team debuted
a monthly Dallas Young Makers Club
at the Dallas Public Library main branch.
TECH Truck expanded its partnership
with the United to Learn STEM Club,
adding weekday cohorts alongside existing
Saturday programming to serve several
schools. Whether at a library branch,
a public park, or a community center,
each participant leaves with tangible skills
and the conviction that they, too, can be
creators, innovators, and problem-solvers
— proof that exceptional STEM education
can extend far beyond our building’s walls.
During FY25, the TECH Truck program
was supported by The Allstate Foundation,
Axxess, Dallas Stars Foundation,
Flowserve, Match Group, Pat & Gill
Clements Foundation, PPG, PwC,
Raising Cane’s, Turningpoint Foundation,
Verizon, and WFAA.
