WORKSHOP PRESENTERS
This year, we are going to focus on 3 hands-on workshops that can be presented virtually.
Because we are limited to 3 workshops (instead of the usual 40+ that we host), we are reaching out directly to workshop presenters that have expressed interest in supporting our virtual event.
We will not have a "Call for Presenters" like we have in years past.
For our three workshop presenters, we will ask the following:
- Our commitment to hands-on exposure to STEM is not changed in our virtual event.
- To simplify materials and programming, we will have all students attend the same 3 workshops. Each workshop will run one time during the event

We will not have a "Call for Presenters" like we have in years past.
For our three workshop presenters, we will ask the following:
- Create a workshop that can be delivered virtually. Simple is better since each student will be working at home with a STEM Professional Guide supporting them via Zoom
- Create a pre-recorded 10-15 minute introduction for your workshop that we can play for all participants to kick off the workshop
- Create a pre-recorded training session so that our STEM Professional Guides can use to learn the hands-on project before supporting students live.
- Support your workshop with volunteers on the day of the event to pop in and out of various virtual breakout rooms
- Provide 240 individual kits (200 attendees + 40 volunteers)
GUIDES
Our group guides will lead a group of 5 students through their three hands-on workshops.
This is a wonderful opportunity to interact one-on-one with the students!
