A new strategic partnership between technical education leaders Tech-Labs and X-Cal, along with the innovative STEM education technology company NeuroMaker, will soon bring cutting-edge biomedical engineering and robotics learning tools to classrooms across eight states.
The collaboration centers on the NeuroMaker HAND 2.0, a programmable, modular robotic hand kit that provides students with hands-on experience in emerging technologies. This educational tool allows students to build, program, and experiment with a functional robotic hand while developing interdisciplinary skills in biomedical engineering, robotics, coding, and artificial intelligence.
These skills are increasingly essential for future careers in healthcare, engineering, and technology sectors, making the partnership particularly timely as schools seek to prepare students for tomorrow’s workforce demands.
For Tech-Labs, founded by the Brown family in 1979, this partnership aligns with their four-decade commitment to workforce development and technical education. By incorporating NeuroMaker’s innovative solutions into their offerings, Tech-Labs and X-Cal enhance their ability to support educational institutions with future-forward technologies and credentialing pathways.
The partnership extends beyond simply providing equipment. Tech-Labs will offer comprehensive support for NeuroMaker solutions, including educator training, curriculum integration assistance, and implementation consulting. This holistic approach ensures that schools can successfully implement and maximize the educational impact of these advanced STEM learning experiences.
“We are excited to partner with NeuroMaker to deliver solutions that inspire the next generation of engineers, programmers, and healthcare innovators,” said Warner Brown, CEO at Tech-Labs and X-Cal. “The NeuroMaker HAND 2.0 is a perfect addition to our mission to help institutions close the skills gap with hands-on, interdisciplinary learning experiences.”
This collaboration represents a significant step forward in making cutting-edge technology accessible to students across Texas, Oklahoma, and six additional mountain states where Tech-Labs and X-Cal provide specialized training solutions. By bringing real-world applications of biomedical engineering and AI into classrooms, the partnership aims to inspire problem-solving, creativity, and technical mastery among learners throughout the region.
NeuroMaker, a subsidiary of BrainCo Inc., has established itself as a pioneer in creating STEM education platforms that connect students to practical applications in emerging technology fields. Their mission aligns closely with Tech-Labs’ commitment to preparing students and employees for real-world success through hands-on, industry-relevant training.
As schools increasingly focus on preparing students for careers in high-demand STEM fields, partnerships like this one between established education solution providers and innovative technology developers play a crucial role in bridging the gap between classroom learning and workforce needs.
