This year’s summit was a huge success, attracting 100 grade 7 and 8 students eager to learn from accomplished industry professionals. The attendees had the privilege of hearing from local electricians, carpenters, and other experts who have achieved success in various STEAM sectors.

The students were also able to participate in two hands-on labs, which allowed them to build and familiarize themselves with potential educational paths. They gained valuable insight into the day-to-day responsibilities of these roles, providing them with a great introduction to the working world.
