Do you believe in changing the norms?
Do you like challenging yourself? Do you want to get involved as a rising leader in S.T.E.M.?
Every year more individuals are joining the technical workforce and breaking barriers in S.T.E.M. fields.
The STEM symposium was created to introduce 7th, 8th, and 9th graders to the world of information technology (IT) while encouraging increased diversity in STEM. The Jindal School of Management at UT Dallas inspires everyone to explore IT with an emphasis on how STEM is used in business.
Join us for STEMposium, where future leaders in S.T.E.M. can learn about opportunities and discover if IT is the path for you!

Memories
Testimonials – Spring 2019
It made me realize how large of a role business plays in the IT field.
It let me see and understand what information technology actually is and how it helps people in their everyday life
It showed me that IT was different then what I thought, which was IT only deals with computers and coding. Now I know it much broader than that.
I honestly wasn’t too sure about what ITS was before this event, and I didn’t think it could be something fun that I’d enjoy, but I realized that it can be quite fun!
It was fun to go to different events and try cool things and meet cool people. Overall I loved everything
My favorite part about this event was the programming and the Arduino boards
This in an amazing event and it was very fun and educational. Me and my friend will definitely come back next year! We loved it so much because we got to explore our interests (mine was particularly robotics and circuit board) while having a lot of fun. Thank you for this experience!
Everyone who was involved did a great job! I hope to come next time.
