Innovation Fair Goals: Align with the IPS 2025 Strategic Plan
- The IPS Innovation Fair plans to impact and generate interest among students early in their careers to explore, pursue, and persist towards a STEM-based education and career field that are traditionally under-represented in STEM fields. Maybe one of the participants will be the next Neil deGrasse Tyson or Madam CJ Walker!
- Invite STEM based companies located in the Indianapolis area to interact with our IPS students and parents what it’s like to be a scientist and help them to see that science is a great career path and include jobs such as: Software Developer, Engineer, Nurse, Research Scientist, Biochemist, Psychologist, Forensics, etc. The opportunities are endless!
