For more information about the event, or to sign up as a scholar booth, contact Megan Walker at mewalker@fwps.org, or 253-945-2149.

There will be three types of booth opportunities for businesses training programs, and scholars.

• The purpose of the business booths are to showcase STEM jobs in our region so that scholars can identify jobs in STEM fields that interest them. These booths should have information about what the business does, what kinds of STEM jobs there are, and what education, training, experience, and skills applicants for those jobs should have. If possible, please include some kind of hands-on or interactive module from your business to help scholars and their families understand what your business does. (The intent of this opportunity is not to solicit business.)
• The purpose of the training program booths are to help scholars prepare for the STEM jobs that interest them. These booths should have information about the degree, certificate, or other training programs offered, the types of STEM jobs graduates are prepared for, and what kinds of K-12 courses and experiences will prepare scholars for success in the program.
• The purpose of the scholar booths are to showcase STEM projects, activities, and opportunities available to scholars in our schools. These booths will include some kind of project or product and with scholars explaining what they did, what they learned, and how the experience is preparing them for a bright future.
