Go Behind the Scenes with STEAM Connect Pop-Ups
Have you ever wondered what it’s really like to be an engineer, a game designer, or a scientist?
STEAM Connect Pop-Ups are your chance to find out! We invite you to join us for a free, after-school adventure to a local workplace. You’ll get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at a company in action.
Our goal is simple: to connect curious learners (students and adults alike) with current professionals to explore a variety of STEAM careers. You’ll get to see projects, ask questions, and discover what your future could look like. It’s like a “take your kid to work” day, but for everyone.
