important stop on the pathways to postsecondary education and a career that they are paving in Rochester Public Schools today. “We look forward to building on this year’s success in the years to come,” Pekel says. Jaden Miller, Marketing Manager at Weller Brothers Landscaping concurred that STEAM Summit provided the opporuntity for thousands of students to learn more about career options that they may have been unaware of. "For example, landscape architecture is a career that encompasses all STEAM disciplines, but nearly all the students we engaged with at the Summit were hearing of this career for the first time. " Miller says. The Weller Brothers Landscaping team had a fun time introducing students to landscape architecture with an interactive, virtual reality experience at the STEAM Summit. Afterwards, they had a student reach out to coordinate a day of job shadowing with their landscape architect. GEOTEK, one of the sponsors of this year’s STEAM Summit, is an employer that recognizes the importance of identifying and cultivating talent early in the educational pipeline. According to Jacqueline Zimmerman, training program facilitator at GEOTEK, by actively participating in these events, GEOTEK can showcase the diverse and exciting opportunities within manufacturing, inspiring students to consider STEM and manufacturing careers. This early exposure helps build brand awareness and fosters a connection between students’ academic interests and potential future roles within GEOTEK.
