Breakfast and a mid-morning break will be provided for all participants!

📍 Format:
Professionals with similar careers will be grouped together and seated throughout the gym, stage, and key areas of the school. Our students will rotate through stations with a guide, engaging in conversations and asking questions about your career journey, experiences, and advice.

Let’s work together to spark curiosity, inspire future innovators, and show our STEM-ists just how many exciting opportunities are out there!

As of today, 12 students remain non-compliant with medical requirements.
