Dream Days
DREAM DAYS
Dream Days are interactive workshops designed to introduce middle school participants to a variety of STEM careers. At each Dream Day, up to six corporate or university groups conduct hands-on activities highlighting the principles or activities used every day in their job.
​
Past Dream Days have included food scientists from Pepperidge Farm describing how chemistry is used to create flavors in their cookie products; package engineers from Estee Lauder demonstrating the three functions of packaging and how it is used to design cosmetic packaging; and computer scientists from Selective Insurance conducting a sorting activity to show how vast amounts of data can be sorted quickly.
​
Dream Days are supported by sponsors and are presented free to participants. To host a Dream Day workshop in your area, email us at dreamsneeddoing@gmail.com!
