STEMtech Summits
Summits are workshops that deliver a body of practical knowledge by providing in-depth exposure to specific topics. Summit facilitators help participants learn new concepts, draw on participants' expertise and prior knowledge, and have participants apply what they have learned. Full workshop descriptions are available at www.league.org/stemtech/summits. Enrollment is limited, so register early!
