Up to 125 9th & 10th-grade students from across the region, including students in the Pathways to Technology (PTECH) program that prepares high school students for high-skills jobs of the future in technology, manufacturing, health care and finance. They will participate in an interactive tabling event with hands-on activities and demonstrations by area Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) and manufacturing businesses, PTECH and SUNY Adirondack programs. Students will also have an opportunity to tour one or more regional businesses, giving them a chance to learn about manufacturing careers and related educational pathways.
The event is a result of the work of the STEAM Roundtable, a group of representatives from local STEAM businesses, various SUNY Adirondack and WSWHE BOCES faculty and staff members. Participating companies include Adirondack Studios, Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp., Finch Paper, The Fort Miller Group, GlobalFoundries, Irving Tissue, Kirsh Helmets and RASP.
