In-Person Panel at South Puget Sound Community College: IGNITE Middle School Field Trip (Olympia, WA)

Inspire IGNITE Students in STEM on a panel as part of a field trip at South Puget Sound Community College! During this special event, middle school students from Tumwater and Olympia School Districts will get a glimpse at life on a college campus, explore the Chemistry and Cybersecurity/Networking programs, then enjoy a panel and Q&A discussion with industry professionals.

IGNITE aims to increase gender diversity in high-wage/high-demand STEM fields, such as technology and engineering. Women, nonbinary, transgender, agender, and genderqueer professionals who represent these perspectives are highly encouraged to sign up as Panelists to share their stories and answer student questions!

This is an incredible opportunity to change an IGNITE student’s life! After signing up as a panelist, volunteers are required to review our short Panelist Training Video at least once per school year and attend a live, interactive Virtual Panelist Coaching Session if they have not attended one in the past. Training must be completed by April 26, 2024.

South Puget Sound Community College is located at 2011 Mottman Rd SW, Olympia, WA 98512. The field trip takes place from 10am-1pm, with the Panel occurring during the second half of the event.
