STEAM Connect Pop-Ups – Attendees

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.

Why Attend?

  • See it in Action: Learn about a career by seeing it up close—not just reading about it.
  • Connect with Pros: Get valuable advice from people who are already working in the field.
  • Spark Your Career: Find out what different jobs are really like and discover a path that’s right for you.

Upcoming Pop-Ups

We host these free, 1.5-hour visits every month during the school year. Here’s our schedule:
