Every year, 220 students in grades 6-8 from the state of Kansas come to Emporia State University to take part in Enhancing Your Future With Mathematics and Science. This STEM outreach program is held every year on the first Saturday in March. During the day, students participate in career discussions and hands-on workshops led by professionals in science and mathematics careers. Students hear presentations from two speakers, one at the opening ceremony and the other after the luncheon. All participants receive an Enhancing Your Future t-shirt designed specifically for the conference at the end of the day. Parents and teachers are encouraged to attend this event as well. The concurrent adult program includes separate sessions with a focus on learning strategies for encouraging students to pursue careers in science and mathematics, as well as observation of the hands-on workshops.
