Outreach activities have always been a part of the UT IGERT work. The 2012 program year has been a very busy year for IGERT participants to work in the community and on a very broad scale with young students as well as emerging high school students in cultivating and nurture interest in science and engineering. All of the IGERT trainees and affiliates as well as almuni participated in community outreach activities. They have taken their theoretical concepts and lab experiences and translated their passion for the public. While interviewing a parent of a college student and his younger brother at the Explore UT open house, the older brother said, "When I came to Explore UT and saw what you (IGERT students) were doing with the nano-toys and the grid, that's when I decided I was going to become an engineer."
