Free to the public, the Pyramid STEM Showcase provides an opportunity for youth, parents, government, industry, educators and organizations to come together to learn and share.  Expected outcomes would be:

• Provide touch and feel exposure to technologies
• Encourage interest in STEM to k-12 students
• Identify STEM-related programs for k-12 and college students
• Encourage adult interest in particularly information technology as well as all STEM careers
• Educate everyone on aspects of technology in their day-to-day lives

There are so many organizations that have STEM-related programs, products, services, classes or careers that we all need to know about.  Many might be free or low-cost.  There is also a disparity in the minority and African American communities as it relates to awareness of the various aspects of STEM.  The Pyramid STEM Showcase is the opportunity to get the word out – not just on paper, but with hands-on displays that excite and peak the interest.  So, I’m sure that you have something to share – and we want you there.  If so, complete the attached exhibit application.

As an initiative of DHEx Enterprises, the Pyramid STEM Showcase, we welcome anyone considering supporting the Showcase as a volunteer or as a program sponsor, who can assist with a gift of a STEM-related giveaway or a donation towards the giveaways, programming or marketing.
