More than 70 professionals representing various careers were on hand at Kennedy High School’s STEAM Career and College Fair on April 16.

A medical Scrabble tournament and mini robotics competition were also part of the fair.

Individuals from various careers, organizations and colleges spoke to students and their families about college and career opportunities.

“Engaging alumni and local professionals in STEAM fields can offer students invaluable insights, mentorship, and inspiration for their own educational and career journeys,” explained Robert Soel, an event co-coordinator and science/STEAM chairperson based at Kennedy.

Students were able to get hands on experiences such as eSports gaming, flight simulation, robots and more.

“This kind of interaction fosters a sense of community and connectivity, which can be truly enriching for both the students and the professionals involved,” added Danielle Caliendo, an event co-coordinator and science/STEAM chairperson based at Calhoun High School.
