Our Purpose


Crafting an Environment of Inspiration & Motivation
Mind Trekkers is a nationally acclaimed science, engineering, and in-demand career roadshow that inspires youth to explore the excitement of in-demand career paths. It’s best described as a mix between a science fair, a career fair, and a carnival! Thousands of middle school students will participate in more than 60 engaging career exploration activities, each hosted by a local company or college student acting as a near-peer role model.
