Central Rivers AEA recently partnered with the University of Iowa’s Jacobson Institute and hosted “DesignDash” for area high school students, educators and entrepreneurs! 🙌

DesignDash is a one-day event where high school students, teachers and industry leaders come together for an... exciting, hands-on entrepreneurial experience. Students and educators team up with real entrepreneurs and business professionals to work on startup projects, gaining practical insights into how new businesses are created and developed. 💡👏

We hosted over 100 students representing the districts of Charles City, Hudson, Grundy Center, Union, Denver, GMG, North Iowa, South Hardin, Mt. Pleasant and Edgewood-Colesburg, along with over a dozen area entrepreneurs and mentors!

🚀 The Cedar Valley Family STEM Festival lit up @wartburgcollege's "The W" this week, bringing hands-on STEM fun for PreK-8th graders and families! Over 50 interactive exhibits – like robot car driving with Sphero Indi and live science experiments – made for an unforgettable ...(and free!) experience for all ages. 👏

Central Rivers AEA wowed the crowd with Starlab, a portable planetarium where families journeyed through the stars and constellations. ✨

Thanks to the Northeast Iowa STEM Region and @northern_iowa for making this fantastic event happen! 🙌
