Our friends from @EMR_Automation are back at Tech Fest this Saturday! They are passionate about inspiring children to pursue STEM and working to close the gender gap in STEM careers - and their activities are always a hit with kids. Stop by their table and say hi.

We're looking for a few people to interview (on camera) for an upcoming exhibit. If you're an electrician, plumber, mason, HVAC technician, or any other trade that could be used to build a house, send us a message!
