Innovation Week connects students to possibility.

A single experience can change what a student believes is possible. Innovation Week gives 7th graders across Oklahoma City three days to explore STEAM through hands-on activities, meet professionals working in the field and discover career paths they can pursue close to home.

These experiences give students new interests to explore, new questions to ask and a clearer picture of where their curiosity could take them.
