STEAM Point Days for Boys will be held virtually on November 6, 2020. We will have a similar format, three different workshop sessions times to choose from, but the sessions will only be 40 minutes in length instead of a full hour.

STEAM Point Days provide an opportunity for private and non-profit business professionals and UW faculty, staff, and students to present workshops in their field of study or career area. The objective is to help students discover the variety of career options available with a degree in STEAM by engaging students in fun, hands-on learning activities in each workshop.

STEAM Point Day for Boys proposals are due by October 2, 2020.

STEAM Point Days provide an opportunity for private and non-profit business professionals and UW faculty, staff, and students to present workshops in their field of study or career area. The objective is to help students discover the variety of career options available with a degree in STEAM by engaging students in fun, hands-on learning activities in each workshop. Workshops are one hour in length, and you may present the same workshop up to three times for each event. The boy's and girl's events held at UW-Stevens Point have the same conference schedule with three one-hour workshops while the Treehaven event is more compact with four, 40-minute workshops.  The workshop proposal form indicates the presentation times for each event. You may register to present at one or all three events.
