Design and Modeling & Flight and Space are two Project Lead The Way courses offered as extracurricular club to middle school students (6-8) to learn about the engineering process, designing prototypes, flight, space travel and real-world problems faced by engineers. Students in these clubs are also given the opportunity to join the Texas Alliance of Minorities in Engineering (T.A.M.E.) which allows them to connect with students who share their passion for STEAM all across the valley in a annual competition held at UTRGV - Edinburg Campus.
