STEM

Welcome to The Grid

The Grid is NOAC 2027's hub for STEM, innovation, and hands-on discovery.

Designed for curious minds and creative problem-solvers, The Grid invites participants to explore emerging technologies, develop new skills, and experience the excitement of learning by doing.

Whether you're interested in engineering, robotics, design, manufacturing, aviation, technology, or skilled trades, you'll find opportunities to challenge yourself and discover something new.

‍

Learning by Doing

The best learning happens when you get your hands involved.

Throughout The Grid, participants will experience interactive exhibits, demonstrations, workshops, and activities designed to encourage exploration and creativity. Rather than simply watching, you'll have opportunities to build, test, create, and solve problems alongside fellow Arrowmen and industry professionals.

No prior experience is required - just curiosity and a willingness to try something new.

‍

Discover What’s Possible

Innovation comes in many forms.

The Grid will showcase a wide range of STEM disciplines and career pathways while introducing participants to new ideas, technologies, and professions. Whether you're exploring a future career, developing a new hobby, or simply looking for a unique conference experience, you'll leave with new knowledge and inspiration.

Powered by Partnership

Many of the experiences within The Grid are made possible through partnerships with organizations, businesses, universities, and industry leaders who share a passion for preparing the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers.

These partnerships help create engaging, real-world experiences that connect learning with opportunity.
