STEM Summits

STEM summits are a component of a community initiative to promote advanced science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) coursework to greater Rochester area students. The future success of greater Rochester's economy depends on a well-prepared pipeline of students with the education and skills needed to keep Rochester area's business and industry competitive. STEM Summits bring together business, higher education, local government and communities to motivate and prepare our students for an increasingly competitive global marketplace.

Does your business belong at the STEM Summit?  The STEM Summit highlights careers that involve science, technology, engineering and math skills.  We seek hands-on, interactive exhibits by businesses promoting these careers. We expect upwards of1,000 middle and high school students at this event on Thursday, Nov. 5, at the RCTC Fieldhouse from 9:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m..   If you would like to participate, submit an exhibitor form by October 2.  With questions contact Peter Moehnke,  intern@rochestermnchamber.com / 398-8853 or Julie Fiesel, jfiesel@rochestermnchamber.com / 424-4554.
