Empowering the Next Generation Through Technology and Engineering
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.
Experience the full journey from digital modeling to real-world solutions in our interactive 3D printing classes. Learn by doing, and see your ideas come to life.
Work together on projects that challenge you to solve problems, experiment, and innovate. Turn your imagination into achievements!
Be part of a supportive network where you can share knowledge, lead workshops, and grow alongside fellow STEM enthusiasts.
Help others discover the excitement of engineering while building your own leadership and teaching skills. Make a real impact in your community.
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.
"TENAR helped me find my passion."
Before joining, I never imagined I could design and build real projects. The hands-on classes and supportive mentors made learning fun and approachable. I’ve gained confidence, made new friends, and discovered how exciting engineering can be. TENAR truly opened doors for me.
