The Teaching Through Technology Alaska program, “T3” Alaska, is an alliance of students, educators, and community partners who are dedicated to creating pathways for students to become innovative leaders in their communities.
In high school, T3 Alaska students explore STEAM studies through focused curriculum, problem-based learning, and service projects of relevance to their communities. In post-secondary education, T3 Alaska connects students with community partners’ research, career and internship opportunities. Statewide, T3 Alaska students gain access to curricula, mentorship, peer and professional networks, training workshops, travel opportunities, project funding, and STEAM technology.
The T3 Alliance Alaska program is open to all students at participating schools. There is no cost for students to participate. Some students may be eligible to join Upward Bound for additional opportunities.

Upward Bound (UB)
Upward Bound (UB) is a federally funded program whose goal is to increase the academic performance and motivation levels of low-income and first-generation college students so that they can successfully pursue a post-secondary educational degree. Qualified UB students have access to additional resources and opportunities. T3 Alaska and UB program are intricately linked. Every University of Alaska Upward Bound site is also a T3 Alaska site.
Students and parents are encouraged to apply for both the UB and T3 Alaska program.
If you are an interested parent, prospective student, or would just like to know more about Upward Bound at UAF, please check out the UAF Upward Bound website.
