What is the TARGET Grant? First of all, T.A.R.G.E.T. stands for Technology Applications Readiness Grant for Empowering Texas, in case you were curious about it. This grant is funded by T.E.A. with the purpose of increasing and improving technology integration across the curriculum. What is the Lab-in-a-Bag program? The philosophy of this project is to empower teachers with state-of-the-art technology that fits in a bag! We want Math and Science teachers and students to be able to carry field investigations equipped with handheld devices that apply to real life scenarios. The result will be technology-literate students, prepared for jobs that have not been created yet. Want more info? Click here. Who are we looking for?
