About this award
The Federal Railroad Administration awarded a $95,000 firm fixed-price definitive contract to the University of Texas at Austin to develop rail-themed kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12) Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) distance learning activities and adapt in-person activities used by project partners and collaborating railway academic programs. The contract was awarded on August 14, 2023, with performance conducted in Urbana, Illinois, and closed on December 31, 2024. No small business set-aside was utilized for this award, and the total amount billed matched the ceiling value of $95,000. Michigan Technological University served as a subcontractor, awarded $95,000 on December 14, 2023, to develop a guidebook for railway-themed K-12 STEM distance learning activities.
This educational initiative aligns with the Federal Railroad Administration's efforts to promote rail safety awareness and technical workforce development by creating accessible STEM learning resources. By leveraging the academic expertise of two major research universities with established federal contracting experience, the project developed both digital distance learning content and adapted traditional in-person materials to increase accessibility and reach for K-12 students interested in railway systems and STEM disciplines. The collaboration between UT Austin and Michigan Technological University combined complementary capabilities in STEM education, technical content development, and curriculum design to deliver comprehensive educational resources supporting the government's mission to foster interest in rail transportation careers and scientific literacy.
