Exhibitors
240 Tutoring
240 Tutoring partners with educator preparation programs to protect certification outcomes and keep candidates moving toward completion. We help programs improve TExES pass rates and prevent delays that disrupt candidate momentum.
Programs can choose the level of integration that fits their model. Some use 240 material as coursework and closely monitor progress across cohorts. Others provide it as a high-quality study resource that candidates can rely on independently. With actionable reporting, pass-rate visibility, and scalable solutions like Workshops in a Box, EPP leaders gain the insight and structure needed to intervene early, demonstrate impact, and strengthen program results.
SystemsGo
SystemsGo is a proven, innovative, project-based high school aerospace engineering curriculum that uses STEM, the Industry R&D Loop, Socratic questioning, ROCKETRY, and a culminating launch event to develop workforce skills like critical/creative thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, communication, perseverance, and leadership. SystemsGo encourages students to pursue careers in the engineering industries.
Vosaic
Vosaic empowers educator preparation faculty, mentor teachers, and instructional leaders with video-based reflection, AI-powered and evidence-based feedback, and scalable supervision. Vosaic helps programs document teaching growth, support accreditation needs, and expand supervision capacity while strengthening instructional practice across higher ed and K–12 contexts.
UTeach STEM Educators Association
The UTeach STEM Educators Association (USEA) brings together UTeach faculty, staff, students, and alumni from across the nation to advance our mission of transforming STEM teaching and learning by preparing and developing innovative and inclusive STEM educators.
