Where curiosity meets real world skills

TENAR (Technology and Engineering Network for Awareness and Reach) is a student led nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding access to hands on STEM education. Through structured classes, student-led initiatives, and community outreach, we aim to inspire curiosity, build technical skills, and create opportunities for students to explore engineering in meaningful and practical ways.

Founded by Jiaxiang Xie, TENAR is built on the belief that learning by doing through real projects, real tools, and real collaboration is the most effective way to prepare students for the future.

What We Do

At TENAR, we focus on bridging the gap between theoretical learning and real world application. Many students are introduced to STEM concepts in school but lack opportunities to actively build, experiment, and create.

We address this by offering:

--Hands on 3D printing education

--Competitive robotics and engineering projects

--Student led technical communities

--Volunteer based teaching opportunities

Our programs are designed to be accessible, collaborative, and growth-oriented, allowing students at all levels to participate and improve.
