Education support

TI is passionate about educating future innovators, as they will comprise the next generation of employees and will help shape the world through technological advancements. We spend a considerable amount of time, money and people power to advance student interest in, and teacher development of, science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs.

Through our strategic investments, long-term relationships with educators and their organizations, and partnerships in our local communities, we are helping develop and support proven, successful education programs that can be scaled and replicated. Recognizing that solutions take more than money, we inspire our employees to get directly involved in education as contributors, volunteers, mentors, tutors and advocates.

Our primary education objectives are to:
  • Improve student achievement in STEM by investing in proven programs, collaborating with others to meet or exceed community education milestones, and building a pipeline of STEM-capable students, particularly in the U.S.
  • Prepare more math and science educators to teach STEM subjects effectively.
  • Advocate at the local, state and national levels for legislation that improves STEM education, assessment and accountability, and that promotes innovative education practices.
  • Expand educational opportunities for underrepresented women and minorities and attract more to engineering.
  • Support university research and students to advance innovation and nurture the best talent.
  • Provide and encourage the use of our Education Technology and DLP® products that help teachers teach and students learn.
  • Improve access to education in other countries where we operate.
