Everything From Nothing

STEM is more than a trend; it’s a pathway to the future. Every moment of exploration has the potential to become an educational one. When educators, community leaders, families, and organizations work together to introduce STEM in creative and intentional ways, they help spark a lasting sense of discovery that continues to grow over time. Expanding these pathways requires visibility, collaboration, and models that make STEM feel like a natural and exciting part of everyday life.

Hosted at Joui Wine in Dayton, the evening will feature a panel of STEM-focused educators, students, and community leaders who will share their experiences, challenges, and insights. Through their stories, we’ll explore how simple ideas evolve into systems, how access shapes opportunity, and how communities can build resilient, inclusive pathways that support the next generation.
