A traveling career exploration roadshow, where youth can explore concepts and appplications to in-demand fields in the Upper Peninsula’s workforce.
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.
The OneUP Mind Trekkers tour will directly impact thousands of middle school youth across the Upper Peninsula in a day of sparking curiosity and exploration. Your support is an investment in our future workforce!
