Additionally, participants will get a chance to build their professional portfolios (resumes and cover letters), work on special projects for special days (ex: Earth Day or IlluminOdyssey), learn leadership skills such as goals setting and teamwork, and network with different STEAM professionals and college students pursuing STEAM careers.
