Imagine Tennessee
Imagine Tennessee is a new initiative in the UT Office of Community Engagement and Outreach focused on connecting and equipping community-university partners to advance common goals for the good of our local community and the state. An interactive ArcGIS map illustrates the reach of engagement and outreach projects across the state and beyond. Of the 515 current projects, UT College of Arts and Sciences faculty and students are leaders of 182 projects.
One such project is Biology in a Box, a fun and challenging way for K-12 teachers to enhance their life sciences curriculum and encourage student interest science, technology, engineering, and math disciplines. |
