Rosie Innovators STEM Events are fun, hands-on experiences filled with science, technology, engineering, and math activities designed for elementary school students. These events can take place at after-school programs, scout troop meetings, community centers, and more. Each event is fully designed and led by Rosie Innovators—high school students preparing to pursue careers in STEM.
As a Rosie Innovator, you'll research, develop, and present your own STEM project with the support of the Rosie Riveters team. These projects play an important role in inspiring the next generation and helping young students see themselves in STEM careers.
