Planning is underway for the 2027 ASHE Franklin STEAM Day, and we are looking for volunteers and firms interested in helping make this event a success!

Event Details:

Our goal is to introduce middle school students to the opportunities available in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) through hands-on activities and interaction with industry professionals. We are planning approximately 20 interactive activity stations and hope to welcome 150–200 students from area schools.

We are looking for both firms and individual volunteers to get involved in a variety of ways, including:

• Activity Stations: Firms interested in developing and hosting one of our 20 interactive STEAM stations.
• Planning & Coordination: Volunteers to assist with organizing the event, coordinating schools and exhibitors, and preparing event materials.
• Event Setup & Breakdown: Helping prepare the venue, arrange stations, and clean up afterward.
• Registration & Student Coordination: Welcoming students, assisting with check-in, and guiding groups between stations.
• Day-of Support: Assisting with station rotations, event logistics, and other tasks to keep everything running smoothly.

You do not need to host a station to participate! There are plenty of opportunities for individuals and firms to contribute, whether during the planning process, on the day of the event, or both.

We would love to see strong participation from our local engineering, construction, environmental, and transportation communities. This is an opportunity to introduce students to our industry, share what we do, and hopefully inspire some future STEAM professionals!

If you or your firm are interested in participating, please contact us to let her know how you would like to be involved. You don’t need to have a specific role in mind. We will gladly find a place for anyone willing to help!

Thank you in advance for your support. We look forward to putting together a great event for these students!
