STEMchat with Texas Instruments back to school STEMIt’s back to school and back to STEM, as if we ever left it behind. On Tuesday, we’ll be partnering once again with sponsor Texas Instruments to talk STEM inspiration!

Join us on Twitter Sept. 16 from 9-10 PM Eastern.

What’s new with Texas Instruments?

Or should I say, what is TI giving away to STEMchatters this year?

The answer to both of those questions is the colorful new TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition!

This new calculator officially replaces the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition

No worries if you’ve already upgraded because you can also win a TI-Nspire CX.

You’ll find details on the giveaway below. Did I say giveaway? Make that giveaways. You’ll have three chances to win a TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition from The Maker Mom!

In addition, Texas Instruments is giving away a classroom set of calculators (30) as well as a chance to videoconference with STEM pro and Big Bang Theory star Mayim Bialik through the #TISelfie Contest.

It’s easy to enter: simply take a selfie of you and your favorite TI Technology, post it to your public Instagram or Twitter profile with the #TISelfieContest hashtag and fill in the blank on this caption (choosing math or science), “I make math/science _____ with TI.”

Even the Young Maker Teen got in on the action.
