Student Programs

Skillpoint Alliance supports programs for Central Texas elementary, middle and high school students through its engagement with the Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) Council and the College & Career Expo.

Elementary & Middle School Programs

FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is a global program created to get kids excited about science and technology. Geared for ages 9 to14 (up to 16 outside of the U.S. and Canada), FLL utilizes theme-based Challenges to engage kids in research, problem solving, and engineering.

Step Up is a summer program for middle school students geared to spark interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. Hands-on, problem based learning encourages students to explore and have fun while mastering challenging concepts.

High School Programs

The College & Career Expo is an annual event serving many local school districts, designed to increase awareness of college and career options for high school students.

The Digital Media for Youth (DMY) program is a comprehensive and systemic program that implements digital media curriculum in Central Texas high schools. It provides students and teachers with advanced technology workshops, college and career awareness events, and a regional competition called the Digital Media eXchange (DMX). Visit the DMC homepage for more information on DMX.

Velocity Prep is a program designed for high school students to work together as a mock company on a real project for a client company. Students research a problem, develop a solution and deliver a final presentation and professional report to the client and school officials.

Skillpoint Alliance has worked closely with Ready by 21 to create a Go-to-College Guidebook to assist youth service providers, educators, students, and parents.
