Texas Instruments and the TI Foundation view education through a competitive lens and understand that creating an educated workforce in the communities where the company operates is a business imperative—plus it's the right thing to do and a part of who we are as a company. Although TI has investments at all points in the education continuum, the company's primary focus is the development of programs that help students perform in science, technology, engineering and math. Not only has the company developed its own programs, it is active on both state and national levels in writing and driving legislation to improve education.
