Students will go through 3 activities focused on different kinds of engineering taught by local technologists. The day starts with a STEM Expo which are small activities provided by local companies, surrounding universities, and professional organizations. Then break into groups to begin the 3 activities (1 hr a piece). While the students are learning, there’s a separate event for the adults including learning what’s needed to keep the students interested in STEM, college prep, financial aid, and even community opportunities for internships. Adults will learn their own STEM activity that they will be able to take home to teach the students what they learned.

The event is limited to 300 students (200 middle and 100 high school).
It is promoted as a female event, but males are allowed and attend every year.
