Why STEMPower Day?

As Florida's STEM University™, Florida Tech wants to make sure that every K-12 student in Brevard County with a talent or affinity for STEM subjects feels encouraged to stay interested, to one day pursue higher education in a STEM field, and to understand that there will be an exciting STEM job waiting for them after they graduate. And that's what STEMPower Day is all about!

STEMPower Day guests will experience hands-on science stations hosted by Florida Tech students, faculty, and local leaders representing some of the Space Coast's top STEM employers. In addition, guests can select from a variety of interactive STEM workshops hosted by Florida Tech's amazing professors.
