STEAM Connect Pop-up: Aviation Careers - hosted by Hillsboro Aero Academy

Current and future STEAM Pros IGNITE AND INSPIRE via monthly accessible "Pop-up" engagements that bring together current community professionals at their workplaces and the next generation of learners (children/students thru college) through on-site tours and explorations of various STEAM topics.

The goal is to provide learners with exposure to industry and career opportunities in a "take your kid to work day" style. "Big kids" and next gen pros welcome - build relationships and future together.
