Join the Ion and our partners in the inaugural Ion Family Tech Fest! During the event, your family will have access to hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) and Entrepreneurial workshop experiences. Students will leave Family Tech Festival with inspiration and the understanding that accessing STEAM-related careers is a possibility, as well as with access to a network of like-minded peers to help make that possibility a reality.
Thank you to our activity partners! This list will be updated periodically.
