Exhibitor Spaces

We have two types of exhibitor spaces available:

1. Hands-on Activities

Plan an interactive activity that takes less than 5 minutes to complete so students can continue exploring. Think BIG! We have the space you need. Also think about careers that aren’t always highlighted — one student I spoke to was inspired by HVAC last year, so any ideas are good ones! If you have questions, please let Molly know and she will get you answers.
